Magnus has decided to expand his fan base to Norway

Earlier this month, we informed you of a new celebrity making his way along the Scottish coast - Magnus the walrus.

Sadly for his Scottish fans however, he has crossed the North Sea to Norway, where he's recently been spotted by keen photographers.

Magnus' Scottish adventure started in the Orkney island of Stronsay, where he was first spotted on a pier earlier this month.

He then appeared in Lossiemouth, Macduff, Fraserburgh and Findochty.

His journey has apparently taken it out of him, as people in Norway say he's looking quite sleepy at the moment

In Norway, Åge Jakobsen told the BBC : "We went out to Buerholmen at Hidra to look for and photograph the walrus Magnus who is staying there.

"It was a little different to take pictures of one of the birds I usually do - didn't seem like it would fly away."

He said the walrus looked "really tired" after the journey across the North Sea.

Jakobsen said Magnus appeared to have a "great time in the sun on the floating dock".

Walruses are usually found in the chilly Arctic

Walruses are not native to the UK, but they are a protected species when they do visit, which means the public shouldn't disturb them.

They usually come from the Arctic, the most Northern region of our planet.

It's rare to see them here, but sightings have been increasing in recent years.
