Possible inconveniences
In the north of Finland, autumn colors appear earlier than in entral Europe. The taiga then takes on a variety of colors: yellow, orange and red, creating a beautiful scenery for the photographed animals. During the trip, we will explore the picturesque regions of the Oulanka National Park and here we hope to have close encounters with golden eagles. In search of wolves, bears and wolverines, we will go near the border with Russia. We will spend most days in specially prepared permanent hides. We will devote one day to a scenic tour of the area and photographing birds at the feeders.
Expected species of birds and mammals: wolf, brown bear, wolverine, golden eagle, Siberian jay, brambling, sparrowhawk etc.
