Will be visiting Finland in mid/late May (Helsinki), and have some time over a weekend. Of course 'birding' comes to mind, but I'd always fanced trying to see spotted redshank in breeding plumage. Of course we see them here on passage occasionally as individuals, but have always thought it would be an experience to see a lot of them.
Would there be anywhere manageable from Helsinki, or all much further north? I've no issue driving or taking trains, but wondering if it's possible.
If not there does seem some very good birding around Helsinki itself, but that's always been something I've fancied seeing.
Appreciate any advice or guidance. Thanks!
