Descripción

The Neslandavík Bay is located on the northern side of Lake Mývatn and is probably the best spot to find great numbers of waterbirds of the entire lake. Large flocks of resting Porrón Moñudo, Silbón Europeo and Porrón Bastardo. Other species of waterbird that can be found within the bay are Ánade friso, Colimbo Chico, Zampullín Cuellirrojo, Falaropo Picofino, Ánade rabudo norteño and Pato Havelda. The area is also a good spot for Negrón común. The bay is known for its rare vagrants and species such as Silbón Americano, Porrón Europeo and Porrón Acollarado have been seen here.

The bay is also a good spot for observing gulls and skuas, like Gavión Atlántico, Págalo Grande and Págalo Parásito.

The best way to observe the bay is from Sigurgeir's Bird Museum, located just east of the bay. It gives the best views over the lake. The museum is surrounded by low vegetated fields and a great place to observe species like Collalba Gris and Bisbita Pratense. Also Búho Campestre can be found here and Halcón Gerifalte can be seen hunting.
