Given the preponderance of birdlife, I thought I should collect a few images together in a single post of both current bird life and future birdlife of Flatey. While it was possible to get much closer to some of these species at the Latrabjarg Cliffs, there was something magical about Flatey that meant it deserves its own separate post. I was reminded of walking on the Galapagos Islands where birds would continue to sit on their nests right in the middle of the path, looking up at you as if to say “I got here first, walk on round”. Now it wasn’t quite at that level, but seeing a nest on the path with four speckled eggs and a pair of Redshanks holler and follow your every move kind of gave the game away. So here I give you in one collection, “Birds & Future Birds of Flatey”.
Once more, thank you Flatey where all the above images were taken.

Oystercatcher? If it’s the last one it is the Redshank, not able to see an Oystercather personally, though there are plenty in Iceland. 🍀

The puffins on Flatey were a little timider than those at the Latrabjarg cliffs. Thank you Laura and have a good week. MM 🍀

A bird lover to the core I love these photos of birds I’ve never seen. Especially the squawking petrels, the red-necked phalarope, the undercover puffin, and the speckled eggs. Nice way to start a Monday morning!
