Beschreibung
At Garður, the northern point of the Reykjanes peninsula, the birder can enjoy everything from seawatching from the Lighthouse (Garðskagi) and beach birding in the west, to gull identification and scanning ponds (Gerðasíki) in the east. Migration means tons of birds on Garður – the shoreline will fill up with waders such as Alpenstrandläufer, Sandregenpfeifer, Sanderling, and Steinwälzer; the fields will host Goldregenpfeifer and Wiesenpieper ; on the sea will be Basstölpel and Krähenscharbe , and chances are high that a vagrant is somewhere to be found amongst the regulars. The Garður Lighthouse (Garðskagi) was one of the first lighthouses built in Iceland, dating back to 1897. Find shelter from the wind, and try seawatching from spring to autumn, which can produce flocks of Atlantiksturmtaucher and Dunkler Sturmtaucher . Also Basstölpel, Eissturmvogel, occasional Sturmschwalbe, skuas and other seabirds.

The tactic is determined by the time of year and weather conditions. During winter, check the sea for ducks from the Lighthouse. During spring, if the tide is high, scan through the waders running along the shorelines or on the ponds. In summer, scan the horizon for shearwaters from the seafront, and in autumn, combine all of the above Parking is nearby for all good birding places in Garður.
