Corsica and Sardinia 4th-14th of August 2005

In the begin there was...

Work, work and work... But finally there came a holiday. We had been planning a trip to Azerbaijan but we had to cancel that, so we hadn't too much time to arrange a new trip. After all we decided to make an easier trip and our destination became Corsika and Sardinia. In these islands there were a couple of endemics to get as a lifer. So I had found all the information from the internet, contacted to some birdwatchers who had visited these islands and then Hanna ordered us the flying tickets - the cheapest ones from Ryan Air. The cheapest way to get to Corsica was to fly first to London Stansted and then to Sardinia Alghero. So we could do some birding in Sardinia too.

While planning the trip we knew our schedule will be tight. Our holiday wasn't too long and then we didn't know if Hanna has to start working. We asked ”Potu” (Miika Suojarinne) to join us, and he was ready to get some lifers.

After we had came bach home from Lappland and Varanger where we had lead a nature course, we had only a couple of days before our flights. Somehow we made it and on the 4th of August on 10 a.m. we started our way towards Tampere. First we drove to Mikkeli to pick up Potu and then we headed towards Tampere.
