Dirrindí – Cushion Cover
” Sound of Spring
After a harsh Icelandic winter, the arrival of migratory birds is a long-awaited sign of Spring. One bird in particular, the Golden Plover (Pluvialis Apricaria), is especially welcomed as the bearer of the new season. Each year, the first Golden Plovers are usually seen in April as they arrive in flocks and make their presence felt. For many Icelanders their singing is a sign that summer is around the corner.
The Golden Plover winters in Great Britain, along the West coast of the European mainland, Gilbraltar and North Africa. They are amon Iceland’s most iconic summer birds and nest all over the country. They stand tal and like to position themselves where they can enjoy a good view over their surroundings. In late summer the Golden Plovers form flocks again and prepare for their journey to warmer climates.
The Golden Plover is cherished by most Icelanders for its beautiful appearance and distinctive singing. It has a strong presence in Icelandic literature and folklore, and is sung about in favoured folk songs. ”

The Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) is the most common bird that nests in Iceland. I tis found on islands and grassy cliffs along the coast. The Puffin, which is a migratory bird, is commonly nicknamed the pastor in Iceland due to its distinguished appearance.Puffin couples nest in burrows where both parents keep a home for their single chick, which is called kofa or pysja in Icelandic. The couple separates during winter but reunite in Spring, returning to their busy family life. I tis hard to say if the separation is the key to the Atlantic puffins’ successful relationship, but studies show that puffins mate for life.
I tis hard work feeding sandeels, caplin and various invertebrates to the hungry chick. At the end of the day the puffin therefore enjoys a well-deserved break with his neighbours, as seen here. The chick leaves the nest in August and flies toweards the sea. However, many lose their bearings. In the Westman Islands, South of the mainland, i tis customary for children to collect the confused chicks and guide them to the sea. “
