A new bird watching shed near Grótta lighthouse allows bird watchers a unique opportunity to study and photograph the rich bird life of Bakkatjörn pond, one of the most important nesting grounds of Arctic tern in the capital region. The website of Seltjarnarnes, a suburban municipality of Reykjavík, offers first rate accommodation for photographers and bird watchers of all ages.

The shed, which stands right on the banks of Bakkatjörn pond, offers a great view of the pond and surrounding wetlands. The house is designed to blend into the landscape, allowing bird watchers an opportunity to observe the birds without disturbing them. 

Located only a few minutes car ride from downtown Reykjavík the tip of Seltjarnarnes peninsula is one of the lesser known gems of Reykjavík. In addition to a rich bird life, the area offers amazing opportunities for outdoor recreation, making it one of the best destinations for afternoon, or early evening, tours from Reykjavík. The bay at the tip of the peninsula even has a beautiful black sand beach, and the view of Snæfellsjökull glacier and Faxaflói bay is probably one of the most spectacular in the Capital region.
