Hanko Bird Observatory 14-15th May

Last weekend I visited Hanko B.O. briefly. The weather was not very good for seeing migration but we had fun there anyway, thanks to Pepe, Markus and Aatu!
Nothing very special was seen but finally I managed to see Black Redstart in hand. I've been waiting this so long. It's kind of a minor rarity in Finland and I've always wanted to catch one. Although I've been ringing also in many places abroad I've never had this species in my hand.


Black Redstart, 2cy, probably female.
