Back in Iceland for another field work season. The spring has been cold up here so breeding activity is not as high as we had hoped for, yet. This season we will be focusing on Long-tailed Duck and Scaup. Ib found a very nice Ring-necked Duck in a nearby lake shortly before I arrived and the bird was seen again today. Other than that a short shopping visit to Husavik provided some nice Iceland Gulls and the resident albino Great Black-backed Gull. Hopefully the weather will improve in the coming week so we will be able catch a duck or two before my return trip.
