View from a Birdwatching Tower

It was a rather cool and cloudy day. A suitable weather for us to take a longish bicycle ride around lake Iidesjärvi. We stopped halfway for a break and ate a snack which we'd brought along.

Lake Iidesjärvi lies quite close to the city of Tampere, and it's famous for its rich birdlife. The view is from the east towards the city which can be seen 3-4 km away in the horizon.

I'm not much of an expert in ornithology. For those who are interested in various species in our area, here's the link for BirdLife Finland's pages.
