Photograph magnificent Golden Eagles from comfortable hides. We have been feeding Eagles in this same location for ten years now. This is the best place for Golden Eagles in action photography in Finland. In the middle of winter Golden Eagles are visiting our feeding site very actively and in January there could be up to 10 different eagle individuals visiting the site daily. There is a very good opportunity to photograph Golden Eagles in action! In this photography tour we will have two full days at our professional eagle photography hide. From the eagle hides we can also photograph Raven, Eurasian Jay, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Crested Tit, Willow Tit etc. On the last day we will photograph at the forest feeder hide in Liminka, where it is possible to photograph Goshawk, Nutcracker, Crested Tit, Bullfinch Yellowhammer etc. Another possibility for the last day is that we photograph the hunting Great Grey and Hawk Owls, if they are available in the region.
