*I am not an avid bird watcher. If one gets between me and some other photo opportunity, I might take its picture. These pictures represent exactly that - birds that weren't quick enough to avoid having their pictures taken. It also means there are lots of birds in Iceland for me to get this many even half way successful shots!
