Glaucous Gull

Iceland - fire, water and....birds! 9th-22nd July 2005

  • We saw 72 bird species. No white-tailed Eagles, Grey Phalaropes or Snowy Owls but all the other target species such as Great northern Diver, Harlequin Duck, Barrow's Goldeneye, Pink-footed Goose, Gyrfalcon, Brunnich's Guillemot, with an unexpected American Wigeon as a bonus...Lutz Lücker reports.

Harlequin duck

Reykjavik and south-west Iceland 16th-22nd March 2005

  • This was planned as a trip to try and see three new birds for my Western Palearctic list, namely Barrow's Goldeneye, Harlequin Duck and Gyr Falcon, the last of which would be a 'lifer'. Going in March enabled me to hpefully see all three in the Reykjavik area...Steve Lister reports.

Iceland Summer 2000

  • Even before our plane has landed, Arctic Terns are spotted. Next day we set sail across Breidafjördur bound for the island of Flatey. During the voyage we spot a Minke Whale beside the thousands of busy Fulmars, Puffins and Arctic Terns. Pulling into a small rocky islet we enjoy close views of 16 Common Seals and a resting group of some 20 Knot, still in nice red breeding plumage....Chris and Alison Hall report.
