Beskrivning
Bakkatjörn pond is a pond near Grótta in Seltjarnarnes, where many bird species reside for example: gravand, strandskata, smålom, rödspov, silvertärna, ejder, sångsvan and ängspiplärka.
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 silvertärna 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.
