2.23.1 Areas affecting BIRK CTR/ATZ

 

 2.23.2 Birds on and around the aerodrome 

A residential group og Greylag geese counting 2-300 birds has a night resting area all year round northwest of the aerodrome at the Reykjavík pond and in Vatnsmýri. The most significant daily movement and crossing runway´s is during the morning (Dawn) heading to feeding areas and late in the evening (Dusk) heading back to the night resting area. The most concentration of Greylags in is during the spring migration is from March April - 1st April - and May also 15th during and the in autumn migration from August 15th - October 31st. October. The least pressure from Greylags is during the nesting season from late mid April May - throughout July. June.

The Brent goose occasionally visit´s the area during the spring migration from May - June. This is only a few birds 30-100 e.a. from Hliðsnes southwest of the aerodrome.

Other common bird species on and in the surrounding area are the Lesser Black-Backed gull, the Oystercatcher and the Black Headed gull. Most concentration is during the summer from May - September.
