Please note:
This web site is still under construction.
You may click on the species names to go to the text pages.
On the text pages to each species there will
be numerous images of all Norwegian species - 
all together probably not less than 500 photos!
But most of the images are not yet ready.
At the moment around 1/3 of the species are accompanied
by photos. The remaining photos (400+) will be published
successively during 2004.
Soon there will also be available various maps of Norway.
I also hope to produce distribution maps to each species.
So please be patient with me for still some time!
Thanks for your interest!
Tony
