Icelandic Wildlife - June 15, 2009

Here are some videos exclusively about Icelandic wildlife we saw on Monday. The White Wagtail, Redshank, Eurasian Redwing, and Whooper Swans.

Plus, we saw Icelandic Sheep and Icelandic Horses... both of which are breeds unchanged since they were brought to Iceland over 1,000 years ago.

Today we're off to the National Museum to see the 1,000 year old saga manuscripts, and then drive around the Southwest Peninsula for some coastal birdwatching.

Enjoy!

Below is the Redshank:

Next is the White Wagtail:

And now we have the Redpoll

Here's a field of 25 Whooper Swans (we miscounted in the video!)

Some Icelandic Horses. They're everywhere!

These are Icelandic Sheep. They're not goats.
