Winter bird

In Finland we use to say that we have four seasons, namely spring,  summer, autumn and winter.

Sometimes I wonder if it still is true in Southern Finland.

Winter is the season when lakes are covered with ice and there is snow on the ground.

It's December now and we are suppose to have winter.

But  when I look out of the window I can't see snow.

And the lakes are not covered with ice.

It looks like the winter is blown away.

It simply has disappeared.

Today we seem to  have only three seasons.

Instead of winter we only have one long, dark and rainy autumn.

But even though we have lost the winter we still have one typical winter bird in our garden.

That's the bullfinch.
