Some folks out on a birdwatching trail at the south end of Mývatn.
Mývatn is a shallow eutrophic lake situated in an area of active volcanism in the north of Iceland. The lake and its surrounding wetlands have an exceptionally rich fauna of waterbirds, especially ducks. The lake was created by a large basaltic lava eruption 2300 years ago, and the surrounding landscape is dominated by volcanic landforms, including lava pillars and rootless vents (pseudocraters). The effluent river Laxá is known for its rich fishing for brown trout and Atlantic salmon.
The name of the lake (Icelandic mý ("midge") and vatn ("lake"); the lake of midges) comes from the huge numbers of midges to be found there in the summer.

Snow Bunting at Mere Down - Wiltshire. Not a species that would be expected to be found in such a location!
Picus viridis is very common here, and several are coming in my garden. This male was always on the dark side of the tree, I did not had a better view.

Watching the cranes, swans, ducks, and birds at the visitor's center of The Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge near Decatur, Alabama. It is estimated that 30 to 40 thousand sandhills make Wheeler their home every winter.

Coot with youngster. The adult is saying " it's about time you learned to feed yourself - now hold your breath and dive"!!
Doing birdwatching late in the afternoon when the sun is at a bad angle is not advised. Nor is talking pictures during a high wind warning.
Put those together and you get very poor results when it comes to taking pictures. However, there were a few Cardinals, like this one, who braved the winds to visit our feeders.
He does not look amused. Amusing, yes - amused, not in the least!
