The area surrounding the craters are good for Chasco-cinzento, Petinha-dos-prados and alvéola-branca. Often, you can find Esmerilhão here, hunting for small songbirds. Also Coruja-do-nabal can be seen here.
The area provides several great overviews over Lake Mývatn. Great numbers of waterbird can be seen here and common species in large numbers are Zarro-negrinha, Piadeira and Cisne-bravo. Scarcer species, like Pato da Islândia, Pato-arlequim and Merganso-grande, can also be found here. Sometimes, the area provides large numbers of Falaropo-de-bico-fino, which can be observed foraging close to the shoreline. Numbers can reach about 150 individuals in this specific part of the lake.
