Icelandic Birds
This gallery contains a small selection of images taken in Iceland during June 2006.

days incorporated and a route planned to see Harlequin Duck and Barrow's Goldeneye. In addition, several other interesting species and subspecies were found along with a superb whale watching day, All accommodations
and car hire were pre-booked for the route between Reykjavik to Mývatn and Húsavík in the north.
