Descrizione
Lake Tjörnin is located just north of Reykjavik Airport and is a fairly large pond within the city of Reykjavik. It's a great place for observing many species of waterbird, like swans, geese, gulls and waders. In winter, the lake is frozen and most waterbirds, being mainly swans, geese and ducks, are concentrated near the edges of the lake were they are fed by people.
Most common species that can be observed here are Cigno selvatico, Oca zamperosee, Fischione, Moretta and even species like Edredone, Smergo minore and Moretta grigia. Often, large flocks of gulls are present too, being mostly Gabbiano comune, Gabbiano reale nordico, Zafferano (in summer), Gabbiano islandico, Gabbiano glauco and Mugnaiaccio.
Within the lake, a small island is located on which (at least) five species of duck breed: Germano reale, Alzavola, Canapiglia, Moretta grigia and Moretta.
In summer, this pond is also a great place to observe Sterna codalunga. They breed in the Vatnsmýrin wetland preserve, which is just south of the lake and definitely worth a visit.
