We went out on a boat today to see the Manx´s Shearwater (skrofa)... amaaaazing birds.

It seems there is never a dull moment in my life this summer. Went to London the day after the bomb threat but everything went fine, just long queues. Met up with my friends Jahan and Debbie and saw XAVIER RUDD on a concert, amazing and the other guy playing was also fantastic, Michael Franti and Spearhead. Last week I spent 3 nights in a row trapping storm petrels all in different islands. Those birds are so amazingly adorable, will miss them. Sunday a big adventure started when I became assistant to a team from Discovery Channel :) They were here for 3 days shooting a small film that will be shown in the fall (i think). It was fantastic and the people were so nice, Ive got some reeeeeally good contacts there and an offer for an internship in London !!!

Wow, lots of things are happening, I had friends over last weekend and we went to the big crazy festival Þjóðhátíð í Eyjum :) 11.000 people crowded in the small village of only 4000 people. It was even more crazy and more fun than I had imagined and I will put in some pics later. Yesterday I was givin 5 minutes notice on going on a 2 hour scenery flight in a small plane around the Westman Islands. There is a german film maker in the islands and he was so kind to let me come along. I got some really nice shots there of all the islands, we circled 3 times around Surtsey and we also went all the way to Þórsmörk and got very close to Eyjafjallajökull glacier. Will put in photos later ;) Today I took the ferry to Reykjavík and am hoping to get to London tomorrow...

One more adventure of the summer and wow it was amazing. I went to Hellisey, which is a small island with a big gannet population. The weather had been amazing all day but when we got closer to the island it was covered with thick fog but up we went anyway. 50 meter high cliff, partly a rusty chain-ladder and we were hanging midair. An impossible way to go if you are afraid of heights, and I have to admit that I was shivering a bit when I got up. And there were gannets everywhere, flying in the air and on all cliffs. The chicks were very cute and fluffy, in all shapes and sizes and we spent the first evening and night marking gannets and storm petrels. We had to wade through gannet poo that stinks so badly but it was all worth it, Im just thankful to have gotten the chance to get near those incredible birds. The storm petrels were amazing too, we put up mist nets and caught about 60 birds and marked them. They have this amazing sound and their flight is like a mixture of butterflies and bats. Here are pictures from the Great Gannet Adventure :)
