Description
During the spring and autumn migration periods, many wetland birds pass through Yerevan Lake, including various ducks such as Skeiðönd, Jarpönd, and others, as well as waders like Vatnalóa and Háleggur. Additionally, the migration routes of some birds of prey, such as Vatnagleða and Býþjór, pass through the lake. In summer Toppgoði, Bleshæna, Reyrsöngvari, Flóðsöngvari and others nest here. In winter, the lake becomes a refuge for Urtönd and Hettumáfur.
