Finnish
Wildlife
While on an
excavation and especially when conducting archaeological surveys out on the field,
there's a fair chance to see different animals.
In Helsinki the Viikki wetlands are a good place to see different
birds, and occasionally it is also possible to see critters from one's
own
balcony.
Within last couple of years a family group of white-tailed
deers has settled at our summer house premises, enabling some
photography. |
