Correct o
More hints to two missing ids:
24. kery is a common breeding species in Finland, but doesn't do that in Britain. Some say it's beautiful colour, I don't.
26. pate can easily have ten eggs in its nest.

This was tough - with 209 hours almost twice as hard as the first part. Winner in birds 21-30 is again Darrenom - that linguistic identification wizard :clap: :clap: :clap:

Tougher it gets, with following ten scifi-based Finn-twitcho-names:

32. ale
33. are
34. ari
35. aru
36. eki
37. ere

32. Alectoris rufa?

39. Anas erythroryncha? or Anser erythropus?

32. Alectoris rufa?
39. Anas erythroryncha? or Anser erythropus?

I am depressingly sad to announce Нет. Alectoris has never migrated this far north, neither has that Anas. One point for Anser, although it's not what I was looking for. Another point will come from the correct answer, a common nice looking beloved singer of Finland, that You would pay to see & hear in British summer.

38. Erithacus rubecula?

Right!

...........need more coffee.
