Ebird trip report HERE. Only 29 bird species but some good quality in there.
Humpback Whale (above)
Harbour Porpoise and Iceland Gulls. We had a single Humpback Whale and a few Harbour Porpoise on the whale watching trip.
Adult Iceland Gulls (above and below) - great to see these shearing over the sea rather than on a rubbish dump somewhere. Certainly an aptly name species out here considering we've seen over 100 of them.
Adult Iceland Gull
Adult males, first-winter males and female Northern Eiders and what looks like a nominate Common Eider (below) lacking the mustard coloured bill and instead being yellow-greenish.
Whooper Swans on Lake Myvatn on the way back to Akuryeri this morning
This Merlin was outside the Hotel this morning- not the falcon we were looking for. We've basically hit all our targets except for Gyr.
Happy mini whale watcher
