Tjeldstø is one of the best places to see Wood Sandpiper in the "county" of Hordaland. This species is very regular in late July and August. It occasionally turns up in the spring too. In eastern Norway in places like Engerdal, as well as around the Oslo area this is quite a common species in the breeding season.
