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

Willow Ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) are seen in Langanes, northeast Iceland. These birds are on rocky terrain with grass patches, blending into their natural habitat. The background features the soft outlines of distant hills and a cloudy sky, typical of Iceland's rugged landscape. The ptarmigans' plumage is a mix of brown and white, providing camouflage against the tundra. The scene captures the birds in a resting or foraging posture on a dirt path, illustrating their adaptation to the Arctic environment.
