Description
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 Cygne chanteur, Oie à bec court, Canard siffleur, Fuligule morillon and even species like Eider à duvet, Harle huppé and Fuligule milouinan. Often, large flocks of gulls are present too, being mostly Mouette rieuse, Goéland argenté, Goéland brun (in summer), Goéland à ailes blanches, Goéland bourgmestre and Goéland marin.
Within the lake, a small island is located on which (at least) five species of duck breed: Canard colvert, Sarcelle d'hiver, Canard chipeau, Fuligule milouinan and Fuligule morillon.
In summer, this pond is also a great place to observe Sterne arctique. They breed in the Vatnsmýrin wetland preserve, which is just south of the lake and definitely worth a visit.
