Bakkatjörn

Reykjavik  >  Iceland

Bakkatjörn pond is worth visiting if you are in Reykjavik. Somewhat similar of Lake Tjörnin in the heart of Reykjavik, but Bakkatjörn is a wilder site.

Beschrijving

Bakkatjörn pond is a pond near Grótta in Seltjarnarnes, where many bird species reside for example: Bergeend, Scholekster, Roodkeelduiker, Grutto, Noordse Stern, Eider, Wilde Zwaan and Graspieper.

A bird watching hide by the pond allows bird watchers the opportunity to study and photograph the rich bird life of Bakkatjörn pond. The site is one of the most important nesting grounds of Noordse Stern in the capital region. The hide is designed to blend into the landscape, allowing bird watchers an opportunity to observe the birds without disturbing them.
