Birding in Iceland is easy because there aren't a lot of trees. Svalbard was incredible - not many species but large numbers, and polar bears thrown in. Hebrides by kayak sounds magic if the weather cooperated!Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940828763843098232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068198388134099737.post-14858130969954288712013-08-13T15:54:16.417-06:002013-08-13T15:54:16.417-06:00Hi Fantastic place..

The one time we allowed an extra leisure day to explore Cape Breton Highlands National Park (July of 2010, this would have been) the temperature ended up being 35°C, so my bird list is miniscule for that day. I look at my Cape Breton pictures and I all can feel is sweltering heat, which is totally wrong, I know!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919516347421533432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068198388134099737.post-55361977570085457342013-08-13T05:47:58.179-06:002013-08-13T05:47:58.179-06:00Oh, you make my mouth water.

I delight in seeing the gannets fishing off the shoreline here, and look forward to a visit to Cape St. Mary's in the near future.

I haven't been to Cape St. Mary's but have experienced Latrabjarg in Iceland, Alkefjellet in Svalbard, the Isle of May in Sctland, seen Bass Rock in the UK where there are Northern Gannets and it all comes back - a special birding experience, so thank you.Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940828763843098232noreply@blogger.com
