While circumnavigating Iceland aboard the National Geographic Explorer we had the opportunity to visit several islands and see many different birds, some of which are documented here.
Flatey Island is located in West Iceland and it is home to over 50 breeding bird species.
In part one I published birds from Heimaey Island, which is just South of Iceland and in the next part we'll explore the Skálanes nature reserve.
As you can see there is a lot more to Iceland than puffins, but they are coming up anyway.
