I've never seen one of these in the wild........as they're very rare in the UK - with a conservation status of Red. According to the RSPB there are only 28 pairs breeding in the UK and around 1000 over-wintering!
You've captured this one beautifully in this little series. I like them all, but the main image is my favourite. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much, Keith!
They are mainly an arctic species, it's amazing there are breeding pairs in the UK at all!
Iceland is a refuge for many meadow and water birds.
