Tour at 13:00 Report from Hafsúlan: We sailed out in a little rain but calm sea and little wind, through the tour the sky cleared up and we got a very nice view of the snowy mountains around Faxaflói bay. The bay looked very promising today, lots of seabirds all around actively feeding in big groups. We had to search for a while before we spotted something but when we did we were in for a suprise, a Minke Whale showed up! It's been a while since our last encounter with a Minke and this time of year it is a bit unusal to see one. It was a very small individual so maybe it was trying to get few last mouthfulls before heading back south. It was though a rather elusive Minke, we saw it surface few times before it disappeared again. After that we searched a very large area, saw a lot of seabirds but no more cetaceans showed up on the tour. In the end it was time for us to head back to Reykjavík and on our way we enjoyed the beautiful sunset.
Birds seen on todays tour: Kittiwakes, Fulmars, Razorbills, Guillemots, Glaucous Gulls, Lesser Blacked Backed Gulls, Common Eider, Long tailed ducks and more.
