Black woodpecker is our largest woodpecker. They used to be rare in cities but this is not the case any more. The urbanised birds are fearless and then easy to photograph.

Winter has been tough for owls, cold, lots of snow and few voles. Luckily this ural owl looks to be in a good condition.

Why do these berries of thorn are not good for birds even though this winter is very harsh?

The sunny but chilly period is just about to end now in Helsinki. Today was bitter cold when the wind started blowing.

At least not completely. The night was crisp, -20 or colder. There were fresh otter traces around. Maybe I find otters tomorrow?

All country has been under snow many weeks. Lauttasaari is one of my favorites to take seaside pictures.

Seurasaari in Helsinki is a paradise of owl spectators. Today I found the smallest (Eurasian Pygmy-owl and the biggest (Eagle Owl).
