new bird at last






our second consecutive trip to Finnish Lapland and Varanger from June 5-13th was just as enjoyable as the 2005 visit and again the weather gods smiled on us most of the time---a selection of images are presented below starting with a new bird for me and one which I had abandoned hope of seeing---thanks to Petra for access to her garden feeders and some amazing close views of this pair of Pine Grosbeaks at 05:55 on our last morning a fitting finale to another northern journey--more to come no doubt!
