"Lóan er komin að kveða burt snjóinn" ("The golden plover has arrived to banish the snow"). Apparently, the first Lóa (Golden Plover) was spotted in Iceland, and that only means one thing: spring is here!🌿

For centuries, Icelanders have awaited the arrival of this small, majestic bird as it marks the end of winter’s chill and the start of the warmer season. The Golden Plover is so symbolic in Icelandic culture that it has become a beloved Herald of Spring, often seen as a sign of renewal and hope. We even have a nursery rhyme about it!

Traditionally, the bird’s arrival is celebrated, and many locals have even linked it to planting season and the flourishing of nature after months of dormancy.
