This four day trip will take us through the best localities in south-west Iceland in search of our many specialities.

Our main base will be in Reykjavík from which we will make day tours, all depending on the weather and movement of birds. Our targets in this tour will include species such as Harlequin Duck, Barrow’s Goldeneye and Thick-Billed Murre (Brünnich’s Guillemot). While looking for those birds there is a good chance of seeing Gyr Falcon while White-tailed Eagles will be an easy target. March is also an excellent time to look for King Eiders amongst the thousands of Common Eiders. We might also come across some rare gulls while scanning the herds of Iceland, Glaucous and Herrings Gulls. American Herring Gulls have been recorded annually in recent springs with occasional records of Thayer’s and Bonaparte’s Gulls. Other birds that can be expected in this trip include Common Loon (Great Northern Diver), Whooper Swan, Long-tailed Duck, Purple Sandpiper, Black Guillemot and the Icelandic races of Winter Wren and Common Redpoll.
