Traffic sign (St. Hans Cross) set up to denote the  bird phenomenon in Gjesvær

BirdSafari a/s has in cooperation with Statens Vegvesen (the road authorities), the Nordkapp Municipality and the Finnmark County Administration set up a traffic sign suitable to the bird phenomenon at the Gjesværstappan Nature Reserve. 14.06.09

There are three reasons that make BirdSafari a/s possibly the best place for you to watch many different European seabirds in large numbers:

The ocean currents and the water temperature make the area in the county of Finnmark a good place for fry, capelin and other small fish.  Therefore, a great place for the birds to find food for their chicks.
   

The Midnight Sun, north of the Arctic Circle:  The birds can feed their chicks 24 hours every day.  The faster the offspring can defend itself, the better.
   

The bird rocks are only 5 – 10 minutes from Gjesvær, a small fishing village.  BirdSafari a/s has made the nature reserve available for you - rain or shine - since 1992. 14.06.09
