SSP Laajalahti 19.5.2010

I'm back in Finland now after working almost 3 months as a ringer in Eilat International Birdwatching and Research Center in Israel. Today I had a chance to meet my friends for a long time so I went to do some ringing in Laajalahti. We caught very few birds. Only some Common Rosefinches are worth mentioning.
