Apologies if this appears to be a very naiive Q: I am only able to stop over on the island for one day, 3pm - 3pm, April 11/12th. I cannot travel with a scope - is this an absolute essential to see/ID a variety of species on the near coast? I realize that, of course, it would be better than binoculars but I will have my Swarovski 42s in hand luggage. I will probably only have time for the harbour sites relatively close to the airport (Gardur, Sandgerdi, Njardvik Harbour, Reykjavik itself) as I am not going to risk missing my onward return to Vancouver.
So, is a scope essential? This is a fairly alien environment for me, as I am more used to the Rockies or some sweltering jungle. I don't have much experience of sea-watching....thanks, rio.
