A bank of sand and pebbles, which serves as a resting place for many small waders, which can sometimes be found in the hundreds in winter.
Reposoir du Platin is a resting place that welcomes many shorebirds throughout the year at high tide. In winter, at high tide, there are species such as Rauðbrystingur, Sanderla, Lóuþræll, Grálóa, Sandlóa, Tildra, Fjöruspói, Lappajaðrakan and Jaðrakan which can be seen in large groups sometimes numbering several hundred individuals. On the gull side, you can observe Hettumáfur ,Lónamáfur, Stormmáfur, Silfurmáfur, Klapparmáfur or Sílamáfur. Dvergþerna and Þaraþerna often join the party, but rarely number more than twenty.
At low tide, the same waders can be observed on the mudflat, sometimes accompanied by waterfowl such as the Stokkönd, Rauðhöfðaönd orSkeiðönd. The marshes backing onto the path make it possible to observe other more diverse species, such as Bjarthegri, Gráhegri, Hnúðsvanur, Dverggoði or even the . In terms of waders, the site is also interesting with in particular the Spóatíta, Lindastelkur, Trjástelkur, Lyngstelkur, Stelkur, Háleggur, and many more. There is also a nice variety of passerines, such as Straumerla, Gulerla, Sefsöngvari, Hálmsöngvari, Hagaskvetta, Vallskvetta and Steindepill.
