I was bored the other day, so I decided to log all the flights I've taken. I've been to 26 countries as I visited the Vatican as part of Rome visit. Well, 28 if you split the UK (England, Scotland, and Wales).

Another London trip and we always look for unusual things. UKs smallest police station, Beatles last performance, Cafe in an old toilet and graffiti tunnel.

Not much in the way of bird species in Lapland as it was too cold -30 one day and average -25 the rest of the time. Plus busy doing activities with the family. However, Eurasian Jackdawย  subspecies soemmerringii were very common in the town of Rovenemi. Note the half collar.
