While none of these birds is exclusively Icelandic and all can be found in parts of Britain, some of them, notably the phalaropes, eiders and skuas, are very much birds of the Nordic regions.
The images shown here were taken at five different locations around Iceland: the nature reserve of Ingólfshöfdi, the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and the peninsula of Dyrhólaey, all on the south coast; the isle of Grimsey to the north; and the isle of Flatey in Breidafjördur on the west.
