According to ‘Birdlife Finland’, the past few weeks have seen some spectacular migratory movements of birds in Finland: Autumn bird migrations have proceeded at a fairly standard pace, with thousands of avians flying to and from Finland. The crane migration has particularly attracted attention this autumn: more than 50,000 cranes crossed Uusimaa in a single day a couple of weeks ago, estimated the ornithological society. Also, the majority of Arctic white-fronted geese have already made their way to Finland or across Finland: on Monday, 175.000 migrating geese were reported from Kitee, including a large number of tundra geese.
