Common Redpoll

Didn't really have possibilities to concentrate on blipping today but since I'm trying to make consecutive year 2013 I post this snap of Common Redpoll.

Saw three new birds for this year today. Below is the whole list of 21 so far.

There are 468 species that have been seen in Finland. 253 of them are nesting. Last year the guy who saw most saw 304 different species. In 1979 when I did this for the first time I saw 163 species. This year I'll be happy if I see more than 100.
