This afternoon the Finns were having a "field day" at a nearby research site. The plan was to talk about the research and demonstrate some data collection techniques so that the summer technicians, regular technicians, and others were all on the same page. After lunch about half of the participants rode their bikes the 9 km to the site. I hopped on the back of a tandem bike, and with Pekka steering, off we went. The last couple of kilometers were a big hill, up. I can't say, as a forester, I've ever rode a bike to my field site. The weather was so-so with on again, off again sprinkles. The ride back was a bit quicker, whistling down the hill, in the rain. After arriving back at the station, folks met down at the cabin by the lake for a BBQ, which translated into roasting sausages on sticks over the fire. We also had a crepe-like "pancake" with some raspberry-strawberry jam spread on it. Pretty darn tasty.
Bird of the day: Common Buzzard.
