The past year, 2017, provided enough food for roe deer and they did not have to suffer from cold. It was a good year.

Golden eagle Kaljukotkas or maakotkas Aquila chrysaetos
The large, impressive and ancient birds mostly use a pine as nesting tree. Breeding adults can be counted as non-migratory birds. Some of the young birds have gone roving and some have arrived here from the north. Altogether there are less than a couple of hundred individuals in winter here. Foraging is often done at a distance from the breeding territory, in remote marsh, bog or forest areas.
