Lista Fuglestasjon, located at the tip of the List Peninsula in Farsund, Norway, is a premier destination for bird enthusiasts and researchers alike. Established in 1957, this bird observatory focuses on monitoring migratory birds through net catching and daily counting of both seabirds and passerines. The station offers beginner courses in bird ringing, allowing newcomers to gain essential skills and experience under the guidance of experts from BirdLife Norway.
