Vågsvollvåien, fuglekikking og ferdsel (14.06.2013)
Stasjonsområdet til Lista Fuglestasjon ligger midt i Norges kanskje mest spennende fugleområde. Lett tilgjengelighet og stor aktivitet av fuglekikkere kombinert med stor artsrikdom og svært mange sjeldenheter, gjør det ønskelig med en felles forståelse av hvordan fuglekikkere bør oppføre seg i området. Dette av hensyn til sårbart fugleliv, lokalbefolkning, landbruksnæring og ikke minst fuglekikkere og fuglestasjonens virke i området. Dette gjør at vi noen ganger ønsker å ta opp problemer i området og oppfordre til løsninger.

Young gyrfalcon wanders from Jämtland, Sweden, to Lista (06.04.2013)
It is not uncommon that a few gyrfalcons turn up at Lista during winter. But it is not very often we have information about where they come from. Recently a Swedish-ringed gyrfalcon was found at Skiphaugen near Havika. This is one of very few recoveries of this species, and shows that Swedish gyrfalcons can wander south-east in their search for prey during autumn and winter, and that they also fly relatively large distances. This individual was recovered more than 700 km away from its birth place.

American golden plover (Pluvialis dominica), new species for Lista Bird Observatory (23.09.2012)
After a long period of stong westerly winds and days with numerous showers, the weather finally calmed down on September 19.-20. With just a slight breeze and sunny weather, several birders had gathered around the lighthouse area on Saturday morning. Many different bird species were recorded, but not in big numbers. It looked like it was going to be just another average day, if it wasn't for two young plovers that came flying in and landed in Vågsvollvåien at 10:42.
