I’m planning to drive round Iceland 🇮🇸 at the end of May, so am looking for recommendations on where to watch birds/wildlife. So far I’ve 3 nights at Myvatn, boat trips at Husavik & Olafsvik 🐋 but sadly won’t have time for the West Fjords. Any recs would be much appreciated ☺️

Both the Kingfisher and Great Spotted Woodpecker have been filmed on the Thurso Riverside over the last few days. An adult Iceland Gull is passing the house at Scrabster daily, but sadly my visiting Waxwings left a week ago.

Police are appealing for information after a White Fronted Goose was shot and disposed of in a plastic bag on the banks of River Thurso in the Halkirk area, after a report on Tuesday 30th January 2023 of parts of a bird being found within a plastic bag. Caithness Birds

My VIP guests for this years RSPB Scotland #BigGardenBirdWatch Two Waxwings 💖 One arrived on the 20th and was joined by the other on the 25th. I wonder how long they will stay?

Killer Whales (27s) off the North Caithness Coast 45 minutes after sunset today. I can’t believe they turned up so late in the day 🤦‍♀️ thank goodness for SWAROVSKI OPTIK EL binoculars ☺️ which allowed us to watch them for a good bit longer in the twilight ✨

The matriarch of the 27s Orca pod - 'Vaila' - with her one year old calf in crystal clear seas off Quarff, Shetland this week. It was amazing to watch the calf switching echelon positions constantly as they travelled - but even more amazing was to watch the calf nursing. Special.
