We were driving along a Reykjavík back road engrossed in a conversation about Puffins, which was one of his most wanted birds but he hadn't been able to see as it's a bit early in the year for this area, and I was advising him of the best places to see Puffins on his next business trip over here. Just then I spotted a bird by the road and I shouted out "PUFFIN!" "Where, where???" he said excitedly. "Errr... I meant Ptarmigan," I said sheepishly as a snow white bird came into view on a tussock by the road. Well they do both begin with P. Sort of.</p></blockquote><p></p>
