Lapland Adventure

10,000 Birds

By David Tomlinson If you’re an avid lister, then the best advice I can give is not to go to Lapland in late autumn, as you won’t see many birds. During a week based in Äkäslompolo, a small Finnish town a couple of hundred kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, we struggled to get to 27 species. To be honest, it wasn’t just birds that we (birding friend Martin and my wife Jan) had come to see, as our target was the Northern Lights, the aurora borealis : the friends whose house we were staying in

Birding Sepilok, Borneo (Part 1)

10,000 Birds
