Last night in Reykjavik and I went to the Tjörnin damm to watch birds. And I was lucky to see newly hatched eiders. But I also did wee one eider male eating from the people feeding them with bread. That can´t be good.

This is the last post with birds from Iceland. This was not a birding trip but I still managed to get 25 bird species photographed in those seven days. Some of them lifers. And captured while the others on the trip were having lunch. :)

The last image is the view from my hotel room. It is the river where it all happened. I was fascinated by the gulls and watched them for quite a while. They seemed to play games with the stream. Like children using a slide in a water park. They flew upstream, landed and floated downstream, then back up again. There was maybe ten of them joining the fun.
