  • Man-Dependence of House Sparrows (Passer Domesticus) in the Faroe Islands: Habitat Patch Characteristics As Determinants of Presence and Numbers
    Man-dependence of House Sparrows (Passer domesticus) in the Faroe Islands: habitat patch characteristics as determinants of presence and numbers SVEN-AXEL BENGTSON, KIRSTIN ELIASEN, LAURA MARY JACOBSEN, EYDFINN MAGNUSSEN Abstract The House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) began to colonize the Faroe Islands in the mid-1940s and occurs in most built-up areas. Breeding is confined to the discrete human habitations (settle- ments) that form a pattern of patches (”habitat-islands”). In 2002 all settlements were surveyed and the number of pairs of sparrows (total number ca. 2,700 pairs) and amount of vegetation (”green space”) were estimated. The settlements ranged in size from 0.01 km2 (a single farmstead) to 8.72 km2 (the capital) and 68% of them (n=118) were occupied by sparrows. Patch occupancy was positively correlated with both area and amount of vegetation (p < 0.001) but not quite with the degree of isolation (p = 0.15). The latter was crudely scored as a function of distance to nearest Man-dependence of House Sparrows in the Faroe Islands UÊÓÓÇ Dorete - her book, Annales Societatis Scientiarum Færoensis, Suppl. 52, pp. 227-243.

The patch variables area, human population, number of houses and houses were strongly intercor- related. Abundance (number of pairs) of sparrows was positively correlated with the number of houses (r = 0.84, p < 0.001). In all but one of the settlements with < 10 houses sparrows were absent, and also in many of those with 10-60 houses where the scatter swas wide (no significant correlation p = 0.25).

Field mapping of stratigraphical sections allied to petrographic analysis has identified two competing shield volcano sourced flow fields in the Enni Formation. These shields are thought to be around 45 km in diameter, and were centred around Sandoy in the southwest, and around Svínoy and Fugloy in the northeast.

  • A Visitor's Guide to the Faroe Islands There Are 18 Islands in the Faroese Archipelago, All but One Inhabited
    A Visitor's Guide to the Faroe Islands There are 18 islands in the Faroese archipelago, all but one inhabited. Through a series of causeways and undersea tunnels, you can drive freely between six of the islands: Vágar, Streymoy, Eysturoy, and Borðoy, Kunoy, and Viðoy (called the Norðoyggjar/Northern Islands). The other islands are connected via the ferry and helicopter lines of the Faroese public transportation network as well as private and tourist watercraft. Renting a car allow you to travel freely, but there are also bus connections to most villages. Everything is possible as a day trip from Tórshavn, but staying on different islands will cut costs and make for a more relaxing and varied experience. Vágar and Mykines – The Faroese airport is located on Vágar, which is also known for several beautiful villages and is the point of departure for Mykines – the puffin paradise many consider to be the most beautiful of all the Faroes. I – Mykines, II – Gásadalur and Bøur, III – Witch's Finger Streymoy and Nólsoy – Streymoy is home to the Faroese capital city, Tórshavn (or Havn), as well as many other spectacular natural and historic sites, including the Vestmanna bird cliffs and the abandoned village of Saksun, whose grass-roofed houses stand above a mountain-ringed lagoon. A short boat ride out of the capital takes you to the tiny, peaceful island of Nólsoy. I – Nólsoy, II – Kirkjubøur, III – Island Road, IV – Vestmanna Bird Cliffs, V – Saksun, VI – Tjørnuvík Eysturoy – Second only to Streymoy in size and population, Eysturoy is crowded by 66 mountain peaks and no fewer than 32 villages, including the idyllic Gjógv with its unbelievable natural harbor, tiny colorful Elduvík, Gøta – which hosts the annual G! Music festival in its beautiful fjord – and Funningur, the oldest village in the Faroes, sitting beneath the highest mountain, Slættaratindur.

  • My Life in Norðragøta
    My Life in Norðragøta The stream going past my house in Norðragøta. I have now been in the Faroe Islands for just over a week. It feels like much longer (in the best possible way). Though I am just getting started with my journalism work and research, it’s been a very busy week as I’ve adapted to my new lifestyle. My situation could not be any better. I am staying with an incredibly friendly family who include me in all of their activities and love helping me to learn the Faroese language and the culture. A lot of my time this week has been spent doing things with them, from making a late mother’s day breakfast to going to the extended family knitting club. I have been settling in to the routines of the house, and just like anyone else, I wash dishes, cook meals and take out the dog, Lolli. Even during the day, when most of the others are working, I am never lonely. Eight people live in this house, and other relatives and friends drop by regularly as well, coming and going at all hours. My bedroom and puppy for the summer! A Faroese Stamp featuring Húsini hjá Peri, the old part of Norðragøta with its lovely turf roofs. My village, Norðragøta, is a beautiful and very old village with a central location on the main bus route and road between the two biggest Faroese towns, Tórshavn and Klaksvík. Though I ended up here by chance, I couldn’t have picked a better place to live.
