Hello everyone! I've been lurking here for a while but have decided to take the plunge and join the fun!

I confess that I'm not a 'birder' (yet!) but I love observing nature and beautiful scenery etc with a good pair of binoculars! I've learned a lot from reading here already and feel that I have got to know some of you! I'm keen to learn more and am looking forward to contributing from time to time.

Yours, Michael.

I came past in '99. We drove from Tampere up to Oulu. I pretty sure we stopped somewhere near there to look for Caspian Tern...

My relatives live around Valkeakoski and Tampere.

Great win tonight - into the SF's on Saturday against Sweden.....
