TOUR

ICELAND: Birds & Natural History

I am currently seeking participants for a 9-10-day bird watching and natural history tour to Iceland in June 2012 or 2013.

Iceland has much to offer - large seabird colonies, many nesting shorebirds, water birds, and raptors - including the Gyrfalcon. The scenery is dramatic, with volcanoes, glaciers, geysers, and waterfalls, and the people are warm and friendly. Spring flowers are abundant in June.

Please let me know if you would like to know more about this tour.
