Hi all
I am going to spend a few days in Iceland on the first week of June.
Due to time constraints, I will not go to the NE part of the Island (Myvatn and sorrounding), but rather I will concentrate on few areas like Snaefellsness, Westfjords (Latrabjarg), and possibly Selfoss/Pingvellir in the South.
It is my second visit to Iceland, this time I would like to focus on a few species which I didn't see or not photographed well in my previous visit.
The target species are:
Long-Tailed Duck (only females seen on my previuos visit in July)
Purple sandpiper (supposed to be common, but I didn't see one on my previous visit)
Great Northern Diver (only distant views in Myvatn area)
Crossbill (are they breeding near Reykjiavik?)
White tailed Eagle (is still operating the Ferry from Stykkisholmur to see them?)
Ptarmigan (not a very good period I am afraid...)
Red Phalarope (still Flatey the best option? I didn't see one last time..)
Any update advice where to find them in west Iceland will be very welcome.
thanks, regards
Stefano
