Description
The reservoir and moor areas are very open and susceptible to possible bad weather. The heavily wooded river valley is more sheltered. You can expect to see Fossbúi, Músvákur, Barrfinka, possible Gulönd and many other breeding moorland and woodland birds. Most of the moorland area has open access and following prolonged periods of rain can become very wet and swampy. The river valley woodland is to the North East below the reservoir dam.
