I promise, these are the last of my Iceland photos. Our last day in the city of Reykjavik. We walked around the Tjornin Pond for the second time during our trip. There were lots of ducks, geese, pigeons and swans. The Tjornin Pond  is located in the middle of the capital city, Reykjavik Iceland. I felt very safe walking around this city.  Below, me and my shadow with the Whooper Swans at the Tjornin Pond. 



I enjoyed seeing the Whooper Swans as we walked the path around the pond. 





This Gull, possibly a Mew Gull was seen in the Reykjavik harbor.



 More photos of the same gull above, the id could be wrong. 



There were a lot of Black-headed Gulls on the little island. 


This little island was in the middle of the Tjornin Pond, I call it Gull Island. 


The Black-headed Gulls along with some ducks snoozing.



I am pretty sure these are Mallards, they were seen all around the pond. They all have their heads hidden, camera shy I guess. 





The next two photos are more of the Whooper Swan.


A view of the Tjornin Pond, Swans, ducks and the building is the Reykjavik City Hall. We heard a lot about Iceland hot dogs, we figured we would have to try one before we left. There was a hot dog stand not too far from the pond.  They were good, I have not had a hot dogs in years. We were eating bad this day,  later we had treats from a local bakery/cafe. 


 I had help with this duck id, Eurasian Wigeon and is a lifer.







I thought this was a Greylag Goose but with the pink on it's bill could it be the Pink-footed Goose?



Pink-footed Goose or Greylag Goose?
