    First, really enjoy your new header, Gunilla--especially the house with "gingerbread" eaves. Your oystercatchers and their fellow rock dwellers seem like very peaceful birds to watch. Do you see them on a daily walk?

      Thank you very much Faye! Töölönlahti is a bay in the center of Helsinki. I often walk around the bay during my lunch break in the summer.
