Illustrated birds by Fífa Jónsdóttir
Meadow Pipit
Fairly common to common in open grassy habitats, from moorland and bogs to rough grassland and pastures. Mostly inconspicuous, small streaky brown bird. When flushed, note slightly bounding flight and white sides to tail.
Þúfutitlingur
Flug þúfutittlings er reikult og flöktandi. Hann flýgur stundum beint upp í loftið, lætur sig falla niður aftur á svifflugi og syngur um leið hraðan, dillandi söng. Gefur annars frá sér mjóróma tíst. Hann flögrar mikið um og tyllir sér á þúfur eða í tré þess á milli, er félagslyndur utan varptíma.
White wagtail
Distinctive but variable: all plumages are some bold combination of black, white, and gray. Occurs in varied open habitats, from wild grassy areas and wetlands to paved car parks and grassy lawns. Usually seen as singles, pairs, or small groups walking and running around, pumping the long, white-sided tail up and down.
