Descripción
Lake Tjörnin is located just north of Reykjavik Airport and is a fairly large pond within the city of Reykjavik. It's a great place for observing many species of waterbird, like swans, geese, gulls and waders. In winter, the lake is frozen and most waterbirds, being mainly swans, geese and ducks, are concentrated near the edges of the lake were they are fed by people.
Most common species that can be observed here are Cisne Cantor, Ánsar piquicorto, Silbón Europeo, Porrón Moñudo and even species like Éider común, Serreta Mediana and Porrón Bastardo. Often, large flocks of gulls are present too, being mostly Gaviota Reidora, Gaviota argéntea europea, Gaviota sombría (in summer), Gaviota Groenlandesa, Gavión Hiperbóreo and Gavión Atlántico.
Within the lake, a small island is located on which (at least) five species of duck breed: Ánade azulón, Cerceta Común, Ánade friso, Porrón Bastardo and Porrón Moñudo.
In summer, this pond is also a great place to observe Charrán ártico. They breed in the Vatnsmýrin wetland preserve, which is just south of the lake and definitely worth a visit.
