Golden eagle Kaljukotkas or maakotkas Aquila chrysaetos
I went to the observation hut to check on the golden eagle and caught the video about how the eagle landed on the ground.
It took about half an hour for it to get down from the tree. It observed the area cautiously from the birch as well as the alder. Only when the air seemed to be ”clean” the majestic bird dared to act more bravely...

The film „Free like a crane“ (D'autres terres plus douces) is a film by two French wildlife documentalists, Maxence Lamoureu and Arnaud Devroute, about cranes and their migration.
The trace of a lynx track is slightly asymmetrical since the inner of the two middle toes reaches far forward. The track is also quite large – length of forepaw 7-9 centimetres..
Because of the sole that is hairy in winter the contour of the track is fuzzy. In deep snow the lynx steps with the hind paw into the track of the forepaw.
