Description
The harbour has a long established herd of Hnúðsvanur which are regularly fed by passers-by. This in turn attracts a significant number of gulls into the harbour, as well as a wintering flock of Tildra. In summer, Rita from the nearby breeding colonies on Bray Head use the area for bathing and loafing.
Strandtittlingur can give good views along the pier, while auks such as Álka and Langvía are regular offshore. During autumn and winter storms, large numbers of Dvergmáfur can be seen passing by, with some resting in the harbour.
This site has been relaible wintering site for Hringmáfur in recent years, which roosts in the harbour, or can be seen foraging along the Promenade south of the harbour.
