Beschreibung
Birding at Ljóskastarahúsið is usually rewarding in one way or another. During migration, thousands of seabirds, like Dreizehenmöwe, Trottellumme, Tordalk, Eissturmvogel and Papageitaucher pass the westernmost point on the Seltjarnarnes peninsula. In summer, birds like Basstölpel and Eissturmvogel can be seen feeding, and if you're lucky, a Atlantiksturmtaucher or a Dunkler Sturmtaucher might pass. In the wintertime, the sea hosts Eisente, Krähenscharbe and you might be able to find a Krabbentaucher.
Visit Ljóskastarahúsið when the wind is strong, preferably towards land and the Reykjavík bay. Not many Icelandic birders spend time seawatching, so chances are high that you'll be the one yelling "albatross!". Remember to check the ponds and shoreline on your way to and from.
