About Lista Bird Observatory

Lista Bird Observatory was founded in 1990, and runs campaigns with standardized mist netting and daily migration counts in the Lista Lighthouse area. The observatory is a member-based organization associated with BirdLife Norway.

The observatory's purpose is to document development of bird populations by monitoring bird migration over time. Since 2005, the observatory participates in a Directorate Nature Management's programme. Since 2021, the station gets economic support from the county council. The station has its own station manager who is subordinate to the Secretary General of BirdLife Norway. During spring and autumn campaigns bird ringers and field workers are employed. A good part of the field work at the observatory is performed by volunteers.
