Description
The nature reserve of Rümlandteich und Methorstteich is a beautiful area to observe water and forest bird species. You can make larger and smaller walks via hiking trails. Both ponds are drained temporarily (especially in autumn/winter) and then offer particularly interesting observation opportunities (wading birds, wintering Fjalltittlingur). Haförn breed here and can be observed regularly. Sefþvari occasionally call in the reed belt of the Rümlandteich. In the adjacent forest areas, all species of woodpecker are found ( Svartspæta, Grænspæta, Barrspæta, Fauskspæta and Stubbspæta), as well as Úfur, Gunnfálki, Býþjór, Flekkugrípur and, in some years, Peðgrípur. In the winter months, many Álft often stay here during the day. Both bodies of water are also home to 200 Álft and Dvergsvanur and up to 800 Blesgæs and Akurgæs (serrirostris). In the adjacent grassland you can observe Grásvarri, Bláheiðir and many geese in winter.
