Description

Particularly a good spot for autumn migration. In August-September several dozens of Trjátittlingur and Gulerla are visible during a single morning. The site is certainly one of the best in the Paris region for migration of Hringdúfa with tens of thousands of them visible on some October mornings. Several dozens of Skógarþröstur, Gráþröstur and Söngþröstur are common during mornings of October-November. It is also the case for Sönglævirki, Maríuerla and Þúfutittlingur.

You can also look for passerines stopping in the bushes on the hill, for example Netlusöngvari is heard regulalry in April-May. Mánaþröstur is regular in April in the tall trees with mistletoe. Gultittlingur breeds in the bushes.
