Birds around Helsinki
Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland
Every measure here is worked out per 5 degree square, so this covers the wider area around Helsinki (60° to 65° latitude, 20° to 25° longitude, about 550 km across), not the city alone. Counts are shares of all birds records in the same weeks, so busier stations do not inflate them (methods).
