Skeiðsöxl on Tjörnes is a good spot to see big numbers of Puffins from above clifftop. From the clifftop you will be seeing a good part of a big colony of Puffins, roughly estimated to including around 30.000 nesting pairs. Unfortunately this place does not offer close views of the Puffins. Northern Fulmars are also nesting there and can be approached nicely. There are almost always some Harlequin Ducks at sea below the cliffs. Occationally Great Skuas and Northern Gannets fly by. This place is easy to access from the road as there is a paved parking place right by the cliffs.
