Iceland
In June, David & Carol Taylor, John Betts & I had a trip to Iceland. It was my second trip to Iceland but this was my first trip for wildlife as last time I had gone in February looking for landscapes and the Northern Lights.
David & I had spent a lot of time planning the trip and we had research a number of areas that we wanted to visit but we didnt want to rush around so we eventually targeted just two main area which was Husavik and MyVatn in the north and Selfoss in the South with a short stop over at Skeftafell on the way south.
It was extremely successful and other than the Harlequin Duck we managed to have some great opportunities with many birds.
