Description

The Wiersterfjild has a simple but practical viewing screen with a view of the lake and the gently rising banks. Many ducks can often be seen on the water of the pool, including Skeiðönd, Skúfönd, Gargönd, Urtönd, Taumönd and Rauðhöfðaönd. The muddy edges are often visited by waders such as Stelkur, Lyngstelkur, Sótstelkur and Lindastelkur. Flatnefur and Bjúgnefja come here regularly. Meadow birds nest in the surrounding grasslands, including Vepja, Tjaldur, Þúfutittlingur, Sönglævirki and Gulerla.
