@RobRackliffe You definitely need to go on an organised trip. Owls impossible otherwise

Last day of our wonderful Finland trip. This Hawk Owl was top of my list to see. Great grey owl and ural owl were pretty impressive too. Tengmalms and pygmy owl also. A pair Pine Grosbeak, siberian Tit and siberian jay all seen well. Brilliant trip. #Birding #Finland #Owls

A rare out of county twitch this afternoon too Thurrock Essex to see the Ross's Gull, was very lucky as the bird flew off North East not long after arriving.
