Bird lecture at 7:30 PM - Breeding Migration and Other News from Bird Migration Research By Terje Lislevand, Professor at the University Museum of Bergen, University of Bergen (UiB). Thanks to modern tracking technology, researchers can now gain increasingly detailed insights into the journeys of migratory birds—from their breeding grounds to their wintering areas, and back again. In this presentation, Terje Lislevand will share new and perhaps surprising findings from his own migration studies. As it turns out, migratory birds do not always follow the textbook. Bird pub with awards at 9:00 PM - Various questions, photo quiz and then awarding of the Norwegian champion in birdwatching. The NM winner will be chosen from among the three best teams from Lista Bird Race (Fyrområdet). The winner will receive a gift certificate of 2000 NOK from Natur og Fritid!
