November 13th 2010, a 12-year-old schoolboy and bird enthusiast Tuomas Meriläinen found a strange-looking woodpecker from his home yard. He photographed the bird and showed the pictures to the experts who were able to identify the bird as a Middle Spotted Woodpecker, a new species for Finland. The bird stayed in the area over the winter, until March 28th 2011.
It was filmed by Hannu Talvitie on November 26th 2010.
