Hirvenmetsästys alkaa tulevana viikonloppuna. Metsästyskauden alussa kotkat saattavat käydä Utajärven kotkakojullamme harvemmin kuin yleensä, sillä ne löytävät hirvenmetsästyksen jäljiltä ruokaa muualta maastosta. Siksipä suosittelemmekin varaamaan kotkakojuamme taas lokakuun puolivälistä eteenpäin, jolloin kotkat kokemuksemme mukaan alkavat käydä ruokinnallamme taas omaan tapaansa 🤗 Due to Elk hunting season starting in next weekend, Golden Eagles might visit our site more sparsely in Utajärvi during the first half of October. They might find Elk hunting scraps elsewhere. After the two first weeks of October they usually return to our site and we recommend to visit our hides then again 😊 #finnature #birdphotography #maakotka #lintukuvaus

Memories from summertime ✨ Thank you Sabine and Manuel for this feedback 🤗 "At the beginning of June we had the wonderful experience to "meet" the eagle owl in your hide. We had just seen Tawny Owls before in Germany so it was a pleasure to watch the biggest owl of Europe. We will ever remember the moment when the eagle owl arrived for the first time. It wanted to grab some bird but after some seconds sitting around it flew to the feeder, took the whole hedgehog and flew away. It came back several times in the night to eat a bit of the hare. When the owl wasn't there we had a lot of fun photographing a large diversity of songbirds." #finnature_official #birdphotography #eagleowl

Autumn migration is ongoing in Finland. Big flocks of Whooper Swans, Common Cranes and different Geese are feeding on the fields around Liminka Bay wetlands at the moment. Among them has also been one Cackling Goose which is a huge rarity in Finland! #finnature #autumnmigration #birdlife
