Description
The Blankensee can be overlooked best from a boardwalk near the village of the same name. Close views of Kampameisa and Sefsöngvari, with luck also Pungmeisa, are possible from the boardwalk (no scope needed). Sefþvari is often seen flying out of the reeds near the boardwalk, especially in winter. An occupied Gjóður nest can be seen from the boardwalk in summer.
Thousands of ducks and geese are on the lake in winter. Hvítönd, Gulönd and Hvinönd give good views. Others are Skutulönd, Skúfönd, Rauðhöfðaönd and Gargönd. Haförn is regularly seen. The most common large gull is Klapparmáfur.
May is the month for Kolþerna. With luck you can get Tígulþerna and Skeggþerna, too. Other good birds in spring are Stargoði, Grafönd and big flocks of swallows.
Walking through the village (Gulfinka, Hvítstorkur), make sure to have a look for Bláþyrill along the river Nieplitz.
On the walk to the tower in the north you pass the small lake Seechen (diminutive of lake "See"). Chances are good for Hvinönd, Dverggoði and Sefgoði. From the tower you overlook the wetlands of the Ungeheuerwiesen. A breeding Gjóður, Vepja, Hrossagaukur and with luck Herfugl can be seen. In winter Grátrana, Heiðlóa and northern geese are typical species. Grásvarri is regurlarly seen in the open winter landscape.
