Iceland ringroad 6th-13th August 2011 
- By not sleeping very much and making sure we had a longer (two night) stopover at what was far and away the best area in Iceland for breeding birds (Myvatn), I found it perfectly possible to locate and indulge in almost all of Iceland’s summer birds on this week-long trip...Oscar Campbell reports
Iceland 10th-14th July 09
- Arriving at the seabird breeding cliffs just to the West of Aranstapi we soon caught a whiff of the guano and after a little searching located 12 breeding Brunnich's Guillemots with chicks...Mark Easterbrook reports.
Iceland May 2009

Iceland 13th-16th February 2009
- I caught up with a juvenile Gyr Falcon from Road Number 1 around 5km west of Eyvindarholar, 46km west of Vik. This was on the coastal plains bordered by huge cliffs with literally thousands of Fulmar wheeling around...Matt Andrews reports.

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.
