It was a joy to see there guys in Pasvik, Norway. I had not expected it so I was delighted. I have hardly even seen them where I live the past two years. And I miss them. A great addition to the trip up north.

One of the "target" species for Varanger was the Pine Grosbeak. 
A colorful and sturdy bird. It was a pleasure to see them. They only live in the arctic part of the world.

The Greenfinch is quite common where I live but in Pasvik We only saw one. This male. And he was shy.
