"Bongaus" is the Finnish equivalent to "twitch", and that's exactly what I'll be doing this evening and tommorrow morning. My friend Hannu has kindly volunteered to accompany me to Keuruu to chase the Red-flanked Bluetail (Sinipyrtsö) which has been singing there. I only hope it has stuck around ...
Of course, the trip is also a chance for me to look for a few other species ... including Wood Lark (Kangaskiuru), Eurasian Nightjar (Kehrääjä), and Hazel Grouse (Pyy).
Tune in next week to see how my first "bongaus" turns out!!
