The systematically ordered pages also show the scientific names of the species, so they'll be pretty easily deciphered if you know the scientific names.Only interesting records from the past two weeks are shown (or from the past 30 days in Lapland). A record is considered to be interesting if the combination of date, number and region exceeds some pre-set limits (for example one Arctic Redpoll is not considered to be interesting in Lapland, but a wintering Chaffinch is, or a flock of 30 Arctic Redpolls).Here are direct links to some intersting regions for foreign birdwatchers:Oulu region:<a href="http://www.tiira.fi/mielenkiintoiset_PPLY.html" target="_blank">http://www.tiira.fi/mielenkiintoiset_PPLY.html</a>Kuusamo:<a href="http://www.tiira.fi/mielenkiintoiset_Kuusamo.html" target="_blank">http://www.tiira.fi/mielenkiintoiset_Kuusamo.html</a>Lapland:<a href="http://www.tiira.fi/mielenkiintoiset_LLY.html" target="_blank">http://www.tiira.fi/mielenkiintoiset_LLY.html</a>Entire country (but here the pre-set limits are stricter, and you can't see as many records as on the regional pages):<a href="http://www.tiira.fi/mielenkiintoiset_Suomi.html" target="_blank">http://www.tiira.fi/mielenkiintoiset_Suomi.html</a></blockquote>
