Tens of thousands of puffins live there, along with numerous northern gannets, cormorants, kittiwakes, common guillemots and northern fulmars.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The birds are to be found to the west of Mager\u00f8ya on a number of small islands \u2013 known as Stappan \u2013 due west of the fishing village of Gjesv\u00e6r. Warm and cold ocean currents meet here, so the sea is rich in nourishment. This is also one of the most accessible bird cliffs in Norway; a short boat trip from Gjesv\u00e6r will put you right in the heart of this bird-watchers\u2019 paradise and Nature Reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FB40BC29-8444-43D8-B625-939105CC74F5.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FB40BC29-8444-43D8-B625-939105CC74F5.jpg\" alt=\"The white-tailed eagle having a post-lunch rest.

Here, they dig small holes where they lay their eggs.  Come summer, the puffin flaps furiously through the troughs, food in beak and colony-bound. What we don\u2019t see is how elegantly it swims beneath the surface.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-new-arrivals-thrive\">New arrivals thrive <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Two species are relative newcomers to the birdcliff. The northern fulmar arrived on Gjesv\u00e6rstappan in the eighties. It is a storm bird that looks awkward when walking on land, but is elegant in flight. It spends most of its life away from land and only returns to shore to lay and incubate its eggs. This is not a typical colony bird, it is found in small numbers spread around the birdcliffs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The northern gannet was first recorded on Gjesv\u00e6rstappan in 1978. Since then, one of Norway\u2019s largest colonies has taken shape here. These striking birds often struggle to take off after a hearty seafood meal, so keep an eye out for their clumsy launches.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/003402_Bjarne-Riesto-riesto.no_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1202x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/003402_Bjarne-Riesto-riesto.no_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" alt=\"A fishing village close to Nordkapp \u00a9 Bjarne Riesto riesto.no \/www.nordnorge.como\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/003402_Bjarne-Riesto-riesto.no_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"A fishing village close to Nordkapp \u00a9 Bjarne Riesto riesto.no \/www.nordnorge.como\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/6ED4A42C-5708-4EAD-BD82-FC8453F68277.jpg\" data-size=\"800x1200\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/6ED4A42C-5708-4EAD-BD82-FC8453F68277-768x1152.jpg\" alt=\"Safety in number \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/6ED4A42C-5708-4EAD-BD82-FC8453F68277.jpg\" data-caption=\"Safety in number \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/BE48FC24-EEAF-4ADB-B089-2B2D3E01E4B5.jpg\" data-size=\"800x1200\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/BE48FC24-EEAF-4ADB-B089-2B2D3E01E4B5-768x1152.jpg\" alt=\"The red-legged oystercatcher taking off \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/BE48FC24-EEAF-4ADB-B089-2B2D3E01E4B5.jpg\" data-caption=\"The red-legged oystercatcher taking off \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/E9C5DDB8-4A3F-4ECF-A8D0-6E1D2E4C0DE6.jpg\" data-size=\"800x1200\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/E9C5DDB8-4A3F-4ECF-A8D0-6E1D2E4C0DE6-768x1152.jpg\" alt=\"Lonesome puffin \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/E9C5DDB8-4A3F-4ECF-A8D0-6E1D2E4C0DE6.jpg\" data-caption=\"Lonesome puffin \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: A fishing village close to Nordkapp \u00a9 Bjarne Riesto riesto.no \/www.nordnorge.como<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Safety in number \u00a9 Katelin Pell<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: The red-legged oystercatcher taking off \u00a9 Katelin Pell<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Lonesome puffin \u00a9 Katelin Pell<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-many-other-species-inhabite-the-cliffs\">Many other species inhabite the cliffs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kittiwakes and common guillemots are well represented with several thousand pairs, and reefs around Stappan are also home to colonies of shags and great cormorants.
