Description
Woodland (mostly Scots Pine and Silver Birch) and dry heath (mostly heather and bracken) surround an acid mire of shallow peat. This combination of habitats supports numerous unusual species and is the largest of it's kind in the area, therefore it has been designated as a SSSI.
Trjálævirki, Trjátittlingur and Krossnefur are all possible and on a summer night Náttfari, Skógarsnípa and Náttugla are likely seen or heard. Both Barrspæta and Grænspæta are present year round, as well as other forest species such as Skrækskaði. Gaukur and Brúnheiðir are both common in the summer. There is a notable population of breeding Brandönd as well as a colony of Bakkasvala.
