We are currently at the westernmost corner of Europe, in Bjargtangar Iceland. I found this piece of jewellery. It's been here since 1973. This aeroplane was used to evacuate people when there was a volcanic eruption. Many thanks to the US NAVI. Perhaps there are a few veterans here who have flown this aircraft.

Are you sure it's been there since '73, there no signs of fire, drug or alcohol abuse, condoms or graffiti and general vandalism

Sorry, I may have expressed myself imprecisely. At least it says on a metal plaque that the aircraft has been here since 73. I can't find out when it was taken out of service. We have not been able to detect any kind of vandalism in Iceland so far.

You didn't, if i remember correctly you are German, and your English was perfect. My observation was that if that was in the UK it would have been turned into some sort of drug den and highly vandalised within a matter of hours/days.
Thank you for posting your pictures of Iceland, it is my dad's favourite place and one I hope to go to one day
 
I walked past the bird feeder in the bottom of my yard this afternoon and found three Red-winged Parrots and a Pale-headed Rosella stealing a snack. All are native to Australia.
The Rosella is one of a local pair that I see every day. They're currently preparing a new nest after their tree was lopped by a neighbour which destroyed their usual spot. Fortunately the lopping opened up a new hollow for them to set up their baby shop in.
The Parrots are seasonal. They visit my area each year to breed. There were six juveniles last spring. I'm unaware if these three include the parents or are all siblings from last year. Nice to see them back again. Pics aren't great. The best camera is the one in your hand, which happened to be my phone.

I also have a motion camera on the bird feeder which catches a few day and night visitors.
