Shortly before I write about our trip to Loviisa, I visited Vanhankaupunginlahti on 5th and got nice set of new species to my year list. I did not have my camera with me, so no photos from that trip, but I stayed at Pornaistenniemi tower for hour and a half. Ruffs, lone Spotted Redshank, three species of Hirundinidae including always nice Sand Martin in a big flock with Barn Swallows and House Martins. Best species were Citrine Wagtail, a male bird which showed me few seconds before disappearing behind the photographing hide.
On 7th I went to Loviisa with my dad and his wife Sari to make some arrangements for the summer. We put both piers on place and water system on too. During the work I had short breaks to see some birds and definitely this visit was worth to make when adult male Montagu´s Harrier migrated along the coastline and turned a bit towards inland. Shame that it was a bit too far for any pics, but it was easy to identify even from the distance.
Here is few photos from the trip.
