Here are a few pictures from our recent trip to Finland. Some of these were taken in the forest so the lighting is not great (Tengmalm's) or at a great distance (Blue-tail and Siberian Jay).
We packed our thermals but the first two days were like being in the Med. and the permanent daylight took some getting used to.

ReplyDeleteNice variety of species that I'm not familiar with. I know that I love owls and think your photos are great-good lighting or not!
ReplyDeletefantastic guys! love them all especially the owls!
ReplyDeleteThe Owls are wonderful! And I absolutely love that Willow Grouse. But I must kid you a bit - I think that last photo is a Moose not an Elk!! LOL.

That's a pretty good bag-full for a long weekend! You won't be surprised to hear that the owls are my favourite, but I'd have loved to have seen any of them. Great images - thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSuperb images, some day i will get to Finland. Owl species lovely.
ReplyDeleteFantastic selection of images John well worth the visit by the look of things.
ReplyDeleteJR and Sue.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say that hasn't already been said. Terrific photo's, I expect you had a job deciding which pics to post, I am sure you took so so many, plus all those hours of daylight as well.
Nice one.
Thank you all for your comments.
