hello,
i'm in iceland or the first two weeks in june. probably going to visit reykjavik, golden circle, snaefellsnes, flatey, latrabjarg, husavik, myvatn, but chances are will drive round the whole island.
have checked out the superb birding iceland for some tips on target species but have some additional species i'd like to see that aren't listed. This might be because they are so common you cannot miss them, but should probably check just in case!
any tips for seeing the following would be much appreciated
long-tailed duck
merlin
black guillemot
common redpoll
snow bunting
also any extra tips for connecting with ptarmigan would be useful.
finally, would like to know if it is vital to pre-book accommodation at this time of year or whether we can be more flexible and arrange stuff when we arrive?
thanks,
James
