Willow Ptarmigan, Lagopus lagopus, birds in Langanes, North east of Iceland

Willow Ptarmigans (Lagopus lagopus) are visible in the tundra landscape of Langanes, Northeast Iceland. The birds, primarily brown with white plumage on their undersides, blend with the earthy tones of the grassy terrain. The setting features rough, rocky ground mixed with patches of grass, under a cloudy sky. The expansive, low-lying horizon with distant, blurred mountains adds depth to the scene. This area is characterized by its stark, open landscape typical of tundra regions, providing habitat to these Arctic birds.
