Yesterday I was enjoying spring weather in the home base in Lauttasaari without seeing any incoming migrants. I got a couple of locals, a crow and a goosander and noticed that their flying styles are a little different.

I returned today to Lauttasaari, Helsinki, my photographing home base. Looks good, solid ice layer is broken and the place is ready for birds to come.

The flight of common merganser is both strong and fast. There was enough light to freeze the bird in the picture.

Common scoters were resting at lake Inari in front of our cottage. It was a very windy day and the birds were quite far.

I was hesitating to go or not to go because it was raining. I decided to go and got some very nice pics in Otanmäki bird basin.
