Description

Cemeteries often attract birds, and Fossvogskirkjugarður is no different. Enjoy relaxing birding in a quiet part of town with a variety of habitats. The cemetery features damp and mossy, almost overgrown habitats in the northeast, dry shrubbish areas in the southeast, dark and coniferous vegetation in the southwest and lawns and tree rows in between. Grive mauvis, Merle noir, Sizerin flammé are abundant, Pinson du Nord, Rougegorge familier and Grive litorne might show up if the conditions are right. In hedges are Roitelet huppé and Troglodyte mignon. Historically, many vagrants have shown themselves in the cemetery, and the potential is certainly there for finding more.
