Sometimes it is difficult to choose between the rod and the camera. This image was taken while trout fishing in Laxá in Mývatnssveit in Iceland. The river was full of ducks with hoards of chicks - in some cases I counted more than 40 following a single female.

Whimbrels are some of the most elegant and gracious birds you can find - but close by they are extremely loud if your presence is unwelcome. #bird #birds #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #birdinginthewild #wildlifephotography #whimbrel #travel #Iceland

"This way please madam" - an ever so graceful whimbrel trying to lure me away from his chicks and nest. #bird #birds #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #travel #Iceland

A very talkative black-tailed godwit (limosa limosa) that followed me on a walk around Geldinganes last summer. Probably trying to divert my attention from its nest. Look forward to their return in spring. #bird #birdphotography #nature #outdoors #summer #color #Iceland #travel
