As the snow begins to retreat and temperatures rise, a subtle mute coloured landscape is revealed beneath. The surrounding lakes produce superb mirror like reflections on calmer evenings.  May is an incredible time of year, as both the apex predators and birds return to the region to breed. Spring is kicking off, and the most interesting bear behaviours are seen during this month of the year. The bear rut occurs as females start to become sexually receptive, meaning males are much more protective over female bears. Stand offs may occur and fights can occasionally break out between competitive male bears. There is good potential to observe the slightly later bears as they emerge, including females with their young cubs. Sightings of Wolverine are very likely and Wolf sightings are also possible in the surrounding wilderness. Many migratory and breeding birds are now present in the area, as birdsong reaches its yearly climax. The bright spring days begin to increase in length, giving participants a greater amount of daylight in which to photograph. The bear photography season is well and truly underway!

BaseCamp

Our base for this trip is a rustic wildlife lodge located in the picturesque surroundings of the Boreal forest in May. This is one of the best locations in Finland to observe and photograph Brown Bear and Wolverine among their natural habitat. This package includes five nights in professional bear photography hides, custom built and carefully positioned, with photographers in mind. We offer you a choice of 25 different professional hides, all with a different view of the surrounding wilderness. A number of hides have been installed with state of the art low angle shooting windows, allowing an optional fresh and intimate perspective with images. You will have the chance to photograph the predators among three different distinctive Boreal habitats, including forest, swamp and lake during the exciting month of May. The wild landscape is totally unique to this site and will allow you to photograph predators in a number of ways. During this time of year, images of bears with mirror-like reflections are possible at the lake hides, with the swamp and forest hides offering additional opportunities with the bears. We are incredibly fortunate to work in this location, allowing you the opportunity build a unique portfolio of images during this very busy time of year for wildlife.
