Beschrijving
The Neslandavík Bay is located on the northern side of Lake Mývatn and is probably the best spot to find great numbers of waterbirds of the entire lake. Large flocks of resting Kuifeend, Smient and Topper. Other species of waterbird that can be found within the bay are Krakeend, Roodkeelduiker, Kuifduiker, Grauwe Franjepoot, Pijlstaart and IJseend. The area is also a good spot for Zwarte Zee-eend. The bay is known for its rare vagrants and species such as Amerikaanse Smient, Tafeleend and Ringsnaveleend have been seen here.
The bay is also a good spot for observing gulls and skuas, like Grote Mantelmeeuw, Grote Jager and Kleine Jager.
The best way to observe the bay is from Sigurgeir's Bird Museum, located just east of the bay. It gives the best views over the lake. The museum is surrounded by low vegetated fields and a great place to observe species like Tapuit and Graspieper. Also Velduil can be found here and Giervalk can be seen hunting.
