Description

Csaba-tó is surrounded by great bird habitat. From a large forest great for Balkanspæta to the large reedbeds that support Flóðsöngvari. The many paths allow for viewing different species often at close range. The shrub habitat to the west of the lakes is great for Býsvelgur. Many types of reed warblers are found and Laufglói is often around. Þyrnisvarri can be found the shrubs and trees and many egrets and heron species inhabit the area.
