Golden plovers ...

are arriving in Iceland at the moment. They're a symbol of summer and it's lovely to see and hear them once again. We've been out and about rather a lot in southern Iceland these past few days and have noted many flocks of these birds returning to Iceland to breed.


The UK's Royal Society for the Protection of Birds has a web page with more information about this delightful small wader including a link which allows you to listen to its plaintive call.
