Beskrivning

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 vigg, bläsand and bergand. Other species of waterbird that can be found within the bay are snatterand, smålom, svarthakedopping, smalnäbbad simsnäppa, stjärtand and alfågel. The area is also a good spot for sjöorre. The bay is known for its rare vagrants and species such as amerikansk bläsand, brunand and ringand have been seen here.

The bay is also a good spot for observing gulls and skuas, like havstrut, storlabb and kustlabb.

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 stenskvätta and ängspiplärka. Also jorduggla can be found here and jaktfalk can be seen hunting.
