Short visit to Viikki fields. 20.3.2019

Today I had short moment with Julius, my younger kid to visit Viikki fields near by. Cause we had plans to pick up Vilma from daycare we went with the car, which is stupid in normal circumstances, but now it was only way to do it.

Lots of Canada Geese on the fields, some Skylarks, around twenty Lapwings, Few Barnacle- and Greylag Geese. No sign of Ringed Plover or Carrion Crow this time.

Around 300 geese in the area.

Wind was hard and soon some snow started to come from the sky. You can imagine one degrees with hard wind and some snow, that is not the best weather for anything.
I had 12 Tundra Bean Geese migrating in one flock, Lapland Longspur vocal flyby and three Stock Doves.. Not much, but something.
Julius was cranky and we left the party pretty soon. I hope I still have time to go there again this week. More and more birds arriving every day. Maybe without kids next time?

Bean Goose flock. 12 birds. 

Not much snow on the fields, but not too many passerines around. Mainly Geese and Corviade. 

More later..
