Today I decided to head to the other side of Helsinki, namely Meilahti Arboretum as I had noticed there might be some birds I would like to photograph. And eventually I did find the species I went looking for: 1. Hawfinch (Coccothraustes coccothraustes) https://hezu.1g.fi/kuvat/el%C3%A4inkunta/linnut/Lintulajit%202021/nokkavarpunen.jpg">  α1 + Sony FE 5.6-6.3/200-600 G OSS @ 600 mm, f/6.3, 1/1600 s, ISO 1600 2.
