A bird walk on another grey day in Helsinki. I had low expectations, but it actually turned out alright.

Song thrushes have joined the choir in the woods. Yep, they are skilled singers – one of my favorites. I checked up on the local goshawk pair. The female had started incubating eggs, and I found the male nearby pruning its feathers. Suddenly it noticed a hooded crow flying overhead. The hawk stared at it with murderous intent for a moment and flew after the crow.

Then I walked to the coast and spotted a Eurasian wryneck in a grove. It is not a particularly rare bird in Finland, but I don't think I have ever seen it before. I hope it stays there so I can try taking a better photo. Finally a lesser spotted woodpecker surprised me by appearing right next to me while I was walking home. It did not mind me, the juicy grubs hiding in the bark were more interesting.

I have been somewhat disappointed with my recent photos, so I have not been interested in picking up my camera for a while. But today I showed those thoughts (and myself) the door and went for a walk. I'm glad I did! Look who I found almost immediately running back and forth on a path :) The white wagtail cheered me up quite a lot and I started to "see" photos again: buildings, birdwatchers, lesser spotted woodpeckers, common mergansers, fresh bird cherry leaves, bumblebee queens and so on.

Spotted woodpecker caught mid-snack. Unsure if it's the #greatspottedwoodpecker or #lesserspottedwoodpecker though, as I don't see red and it's quite small. #birdphotography #nature #birdfeeder https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/animals/birds/lesser-spotted-woodpecker/ #nottingham
