Beschrijving
Birding at Ljóskastarahúsið is usually rewarding in one way or another. During migration, thousands of seabirds, like Drieteenmeeuw, Zeekoet, Alk, Noordse Stormvogel and Papegaaiduiker pass the westernmost point on the Seltjarnarnes peninsula. In summer, birds like Jan-van-gent and Noordse Stormvogel can be seen feeding, and if you're lucky, a Noordse Pijlstormvogel or a Grauwe Pijlstormvogel might pass. In the wintertime, the sea hosts IJseend, Kuifaalscholver and you might be able to find a Kleine Alk.
Visit Ljóskastarahúsið when the wind is strong, preferably towards land and the Reykjavík bay. Not many Icelandic birders spend time seawatching, so chances are high that you'll be the one yelling "albatross!". Remember to check the ponds and shoreline on your way to and from.
