Thanks to my friend Peter for the clear postmarks from Copenhagen and nice arrangement of the stamps.

 During my recent holiday in Finland I was lucky enough to see one of these colorful little birds in the trees around the cottage. The reddish/pink  color is quite striking and makes the bird easy to identify. Postmark is from Hameelinna , on a stamp which is the same bird as the postcard. had they been on the same side it wculd have been a maxi-card.
