Sjómannadagur
Tomorrow is Sailors' day in Iceland and therefore there are a lot of things going on everywhere around the coast. As usual there was a sailing announced today and we were lucky and got invited by Hulda and Jói. This time we sailed to Puffinisland (Lundey) and were surprised to see the huge amount of puffins there. They were just like a black cloud swarming around the cliffs.
Afterwards we watched the Sailorgames, which was rather funny, but wet for some contestants.
Puffins everywhere

Oh, these kids...
That's probably what Vordís and Snilld would say about their offspring. The kids are growing and 2/3 of them are up to no good, always keeping their mums busy. Fönix is already teasing the big boys, walking away from his mum and pinching the older horses. Luckily they stay mostly friendly with him, but soon he'll have to learn to behave.
The lambs got their markings and numbers (208 & 209) and are already outside. The ram always following his mum, but the ewe just running around and not listening at all when her mum calls. Those kids!

Twins!
Snilld got her lambs today, a boy and a girl. All three of them are well and the lambs rather nosy. The ram is grey-mouflon and the little ewe grey. I was surprised none of them was spotted as their dad is carrying spotted and Snilld is spotted. Well, anyway, they are really cute and the little ewe looks a bit like the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I with her grey beard...
The little ram getting a good kiss from his mum.
Can I eat this???

The little ewe is just a few hours old, but already very nosy...

Rise like a...
...Phoenix or Fönix like it's written in Icelandic. Well, Fönix will be the name of our stallionfoal. I like names taken out of mythology and always liked the story of the Phoenix, being reborn from it's own ashes. As a Phoenix is often said to be of reddish colour, that fits, too. And last but not least, he's flying over the meadow alongside his mum.

...BOY! Vordís got her son out of Snillingur frá Íbishóli during the night and we found the happy family in the morning. Everyone well, the little one a bit tired and his mum a bit nervous. I nearly forgot the camera in the morning when we went to check out the horses. Lucky I didn't!
Here the first pics of the young fellow, now we just have to find a fitting name!

Busy...
The last days have been rather busy, shoeing, training, making fences and so on.
Thus there wasn't much time to write here. We went for a drive in Laxárdalur a few days ago, had a look at the birdlife there. Well, the birds didn't like it so much when we stopped to try and picture them. Looks like they prefer a bit more privacy.

At least the Rock ptarmigans in Haga were nosy and had a good look at us repairing the fences. Funny to see, how different they change colour. The hen was nearly brown as she already started to lay eggs, but the male was still mainly white.
Ingólfur got a few experts to help him with the fence in our big pasture...

Spring is around the corner...
...the days are getting longer, my plants start flowering and the fishingseason starts. Got my first trout ever today!
In the evening we saw a Gyrfalcon very close. Think it was a young female, which wasn't very stressed about us.
Now it's just a question of a few weeks until my lambs and foal will be born!!!

Lake Mývatn
A very welcome day off!
Whilst Ingólfur was at Þeistareykir with a group of pupils I used the day to go to Lake Mývatn. The weather was good and I took my time to stop at different places before visiting our friend Ditta and her family at Garður.

My personal highlight was watching the Harlequin ducks at River Laxá and a couple of Horned grebes at Vestmannsvatn.
