Pyrrhula pyrrhula

Happy International Day of the Girl! Finland is one of world’s best countries for girls according to the report of the The Save the Children Fund - Finland came in second on the list, just behind neighbouring Sweden. The Girls’ Opportunity Index provides a snapshot of the situation of girls in countries the world over – their opportunity to control their own lives and to fulfil their potential.The worst places to be a girl are the poorest countries in the world, however not all rich countries are performing as well as they should:

I saw a bullfinch (pyrrhula pyrrhula) in our garden today, and later three more on my walk with Sami. Winter is on its way!

The picture is from the Pyykkipuisto park on the Pispalanharju esker. Thick clouds covered the sky all day today.
