Description
Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve covers 73 hectares and comprises five lakes surrounded by woodland. There are a few ponds, seasonally flooded pools as well as grassland and small areas of reedbed. The deeper lakes attract all the common wildfowl which are especially abundant in the winter. Surface feeding duck such as Urtönd and Skeiðönd tend to frequent the shallower areas. Waders such as Trjástelkur and Lindastelkur, Lyngstelkur, Vepja and Vatnalóa can be seen around the muddy edges of the shallow water. The last two species nest on the reserve. Gráhegri are resident and other birds like Bláþyrill, Straumerla can often be located. Birds such as Seftittlingur and Sefsöngvari can easily be seen in the reedbed in the summertime. In the winter the alder trees attract flocks of Barrfinka and Auðnutittlingur. You can make a lovely walk around two larger lakes with many good spots for bird watching. There are several hides.
