From what I was told this is the most colorful duck in Iceland.
I saw it in a river close to Myvatn. Guess which one is the male?

On the whaling tour we also saw a lot of birds. Puffins among them. It seemed they had an island of their own. Lots of them around there. We could not go ashore of course. But we were rather close.

I was happy to see this Fulmar on the whaling trip. Most time you see it in a distance or high up on a cliff. Looks mostly like a usual gull then. But seeing it up close it is a different story. I think sweet is a good word to describe it.
