Um bókina
Everything you have always wanted to know about the Puffin, but were afraid to ask.
The Puffin is an odd and charming bird, instantly recognizable. Yet few people have met a Puffin face to face or seen a Puffin colony. This delightful book explores the life of the Puffin in words and pictures, discusses the interaction between humans and Puffins and provides details of Iceland’s best puffin-watching locations.
The Icelandic Puffin is based upon research by ornithologists, information from birdwatchers and hunters, along with the observations of the author himself, who is renowned for his expert knowledge of the birds of Iceland. Many of the photos in this book are unique and show aspects of Puffin behavior which have not been photographed before.
Jóhann Óli Hilmarsson is the author of the bestselling Icelandic Bird Guide. He is involved in research on birds and is a distinguished nature photographer, whose photos have been published all over the world. Jóhann Óli has for many years been the chairman of Fuglavernd – BirdLife Iceland, written on bird conservation and authored a wide range of educational material on birds.
