Land of Geysers & Gyrs
Keith Offord
Vast expanses of wild country comprising rugged mountains, volcanoes and lakes make Iceland one of the most scenically interesting countries to visit and during summer it is the breeding ground of a sumptuous array of bird species such as red-throated and northern divers in vibrant summer plumage, red-necked phalarope, harlequin duck, Barrows goldeneye, whooper swan, snow bunting, gyr falcon plus a host of waders and seabirds. All this is set against one of the most impressive backdrops imaginable and this photographic exploration cannot fail to whet the appetite.
Keith Offord is a professional ornithologist and photographer and established an interest in birds at an early age, pursuing this wherever he was living. He has a particular interest in raptors and graduated from Liverpool University with a degree in Zoology.

Each year he presents his work at national events such as the Bird Fair and travels all over the UK giving lectures to photographic, wildlife and bird societies. In addition, he regularly publishes photographs and writes articles in various bird and wildlife magazines.
