Cycling at monday evening

 

Busy day, although I'm on one week vacation at the moment. But in the evening I went for almost 18 kilometers bicycle drive around the town of Valkeakoski. Nothing really special, but to mention something: 2 Whooper Swans (Cygnus cygnus), 1 Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) , 2 Dunnocks (Prunella modularis) and one new species for year 2008, Wood Warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix), was signing in two places, quite early observations. In addition to those I found also a dead Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius), a victim of traffic accident. Sad end for this handsome woodpecker...😢
