Description
Eyebrook Reservoir is an important site for wintering wildfowl, such as Rauðhöfðaönd, Urtönd, and Skutulönd. Other habitats are marsh, mudflats, grassland, broad-leaved woodland and plantations. Other birds that can be seen here include Svölugleða, Gunnfálki, Gjóður, Hvítönd, Lóuþræll and Heiðlóa. In migration periods scarcer species can be attracted to the reservoir's shores and these regularly include Spóatíta, Rúkragi and Sótstelkur. Vagrants which have occurred include seabirds such as Sjósvala and Súla, as well as Relluhegri, Nátthegri, Stepputrítill and a variety of other species, mostly associated with wetlands.
