I’m happy to have had an encounter with the barrow’s goldeneye quite as much as I’m glad to have met the great northern loon. In Europe Barrow’s goldeneyes can be seen almost exclusively in Iceland. At first glance they are very similar to common goldeneyes. During a closer contact with these birds, however, I was sure how to identify this species. It is estimated that the population of this bird in Iceland is about 800-900 couples (2014). During one encounter I managed to take numerous shots, also some dynamic ones, which I always appreciate…

The gallery of the barrow's goldeneye has changed radically. A few hours of photographing a large flock of these ducks allowed me to improve the pictures in the gallery.
