A three days (four nights) getaway in Kuopio (Finland) to photograph with snow galliformes and mammals from hide.always attentive to offer you news, we propose a new spring trip to the forests of Finland in the middle of the breeding and nesting season of birds in the middle of a Nordic landscape, still completely snowed. We will go to the region of Northern Savonia, with its capital in Kuopio, with Lassi Rautiainen to use his fantastic hides.
Once the trip is contracted, the meeting point with Joan Padró, responsible for Photo Logistics will be at Kuopio Airport from where we will be continuously accompanied by him. A local guide will pick us up and take us to our accommodation. Here we will start three intense days of nature photography focusing on capercaillie, black grouse, black-tailed grouse, wolf, brown bear and wolverine.
To make the most of the possibilities, fights, nuptial dances and activity, we will hold afternoon and first light sessions, staying overnight in the hide (perfectly equipped). The daily program will be:
