This time it was not a typical birdwatching expedition and all the photos were taken so to say accidentally, without the help of local bird guides, on the way to the northernmost place in Europe – as it is said to be Nordcapp (71010'21''N). So and the effect of this "expedition" is disappointing a bit. Only a few galleries of new species has been founded, and two of them with a documentary content. I managed to record 3 new sounds of birds. Some galleries will be enriched and only few of them will be radically rebuilt. An introduction  is linked  to the grey-headed chickadee, because it is a new species on my website and its content is quite rich. It happened to me to encounter the tit once, shortly before 6 am, on the outskirts of a small village in Finland. The bird calmly preyed on the edge of the forest so I could take presented photos. I was a little disheartened by my previous photographic "achievements"  and did not take with me a set for recording, too bad as it would be an opportunity to record a grey-headed chickadee’s voice. In terms of size or behavior they are not different from other tits. It weighs about 16 grams and its wingspan is about a dozen centimeters.
