Yesterday we had nice few hour visit to our summerhouse in Loviisa. Not much birding there but I managed to see Crested Tit and migrating Eurasian Whimbler. Loads of Crested Grebes, Common Terns, Mute Swans, Cormorants, Tree Creepers, lone White-tailed Eagle etc. Julius wanted to swim and he ran straight to the ocean.. All the clothes on of course. There is a lots of work to keep that little kid away from there.. Anyway it was nice to visit there and next weekend going there for over night visit, if weather is good.

Today I had nice few hours in Vanhankaupunginlahti. I cycled to Hakala tower and spend the whole time there. It was quite slow day but some nice spring birds around. Barn Swallow, House Martin, two Common Greenshanks, about ten Caspian Terns, four Green Sandpipers, migrating Rough-legged Buzzard, Marsh Harrier, two Common Kestrels, Sparrow- and Goshawks etc. Time is running there and soon I had to go back home.

| White Wagtail, one of my favorite birds. |
Year list is soon about 140 species and in May the number will increase rapidly. At the moment we are enjoying long northern winds, so fingers crossed that it will turn and more migrants will arrive soon.
