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) ![]() α1 + Sony FE 5.6-6.3/200-600 G OSS @ 600 mm, f/6.3, 1/1600 s, ISO 1600 2.

Bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula) ![]() α1 + Sony FE 5.6-6.3/200-600 G OSS @ 600 mm, f/6.3, 1/1600 s, ISO 640 4.
