Hafnarhólmi - Hafnarholmi Iceland - Tourist Information - TouristLink
Five kilometres past the wee church is the photogenic small-boat harbour and islet of Hafnarhólmi, home to a gigantic puffin colony . The free viewing platform allows you to get up close and personal with these cute, clumsy creatures (and other seabirds). The puffins arrive mid-April and are gone by mid-August, but other species linger longer.

Puffins in Hafnarholmi, Borgarfjörður Eystri, Iceland
A small island called Hafnarholmi was attached to the mainland by a landfill for a small harbour to shelter the small fishing vessels of the inhabitants. It replaced the old harbour of the hamlet, which lies open to the sea. Bird watchers are welcome to use the shelter down there.
The small, attached island is still teaming with birds during the breeding season, fulmars, kittiwakes, eider ducks, and puffins. In 1997 a staircase was built to make the top of the island easily accessible for bird watchers and those who might want to enjoy the view from up there.
Usually there is no access during the month of May when the birds are nesting, but in June and July, the access is limited to the daytime between 11:00 and 19:00. During August, access is unlimited. It is amazing how close you can get to the birds up there. They do not seem to mind the two-legged visitors at all.

Borgarfjörður is a fjord in the west of Iceland near the town of Borgarnes. The waters of Borgarfjörður appear to be calm, however the fjord is on the contrary a rather dangerous part of the sea because of its undercurrents and shallows. There are many flat islands lying in the fjord, but for the most part they are uninhabited. The name of the fjord seems to come from the farm of Borg, which according to the sagas was founded by Egill's father Skallagrímur, who took the land around the fjord and accordingly gave the fjord the name of Borgarfjörður.

From what I have seen, most all they do on land this time of year, is rest and preen.
