Birdwatching in Iceland

Birding contacts and birdwatching information



Local Birdingpal Contacts

Local Birdwatchers Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

		I am one of few active birdwatchers at the NE corner of Iceland. Husavik is the center of whale-watching tourism in Iceland and only 50 km away from Lake Myvatn and 100 km away from Melrakkasletta. I try to assist foreign birders visiting this bird-richest area of Iceland.

		I live close to Reykjavik the capital of Iceland. SW Iceland is good for birding in spring and autumn.
