my travel wishlist.

september is almost here and I have realized that I haven't been anywhere outside Finland this summer - for some reason or another. while waiting for the chance to travel somewhere - I have thought about the places I would like to visit the most and have come up with four different ones not too far from here.
my travel wishlist:

Iceland - Gyrfalcon

Scotland - Golden Eagle

Faroe Islands - Oystercatcher

Cornwall - Chough
I had never been to any of those places before - except for a short visit to Edinburgh many years ago - during which I haven't seen the rest of Scotland though. I hope to be able to travel there soon!
P.S. the national birds of those places can be found in Finland too.
P.P.S. the pictures of the birds are from my Pohjolan Lintukirja and the photographs are from Flickr Commons.

  5. What a sweet list and one I completely agree with! It's so lovely to know that someone else out there loves visiting places to see birds. The main thing I did in the Faroe Islands was visit the Vestmanna Bird cliffs and it was beyond inspiring. You are so close to those lovely places so you will certainly go :)
