Norwegian nature and birdlife
Norway stretches approximately 2000 kilometers along a more or
less north-south gradient, along this line you will find a variety
of nature types and habitats, each with its own typical bird community.

Along the coasts the climate is humid (oceanic), and the temperatures
differ surprisingly little along the north-south gradient. One need
not move far inland, however, before this changes dramatically!
In mid-winter it is possible to experience temperature differences
of 50 degrees within the country, if the northern parts have a cold
spell temperatures often drop below -40, while the southern coasts
at the same time may have +8-10 degrees.
