Icelandic Nature

Just back after another working week in north west Iceland, a little south of Isajfordur, where I got the chance on this trip to snap off a few shots of local and common breeding birds. It is always a delight to see birds in breeding plumage, on the breeding grounds, as compared to migrating through Ireland or stopping here for the winter.

  3. Wow, lovely Icelandic nature. Organizing a lavish tour in Iceland is an unforgettable experience. When you visit the country, whether on your own or with your family and friends, it becomes even more fascinating. When you follow a set of rules as a traveller, you can enjoy your journey to this tiny, floating, secretive Nordic island kingdom to a whole new level. I had visited this place with a tour guide (Discover Iceland) and made my trip most enjoyable.
