Goshawk hide in Liminka

Price range: 210,00 € through 700,00 €

Our forest feeder hides are located in Liminka near Oulu. Just around 40 minutes drive from Oulu Airport, these hides are easy to reach and visit independently. The feeding is well-established and usually we have several Goshawk individuals visiting during winter and spring. Our hides offer calm and well-designed conditions for Goshawk photography.

Goshawks are photographed during daylight hours. As light levels decrease towards mid-winter, additional lighting can be used to support photography in darker conditions. The hides are facing west, which in spring allows the setting sun to create beautiful backlighting at the site, adding atmosphere and depth to the images.

Goshawks are fed on a platform at eyelevel to the photographers, making the hide session a comfortable one! The platform is decorated according to the season, creating clean and natural compositions. During the nighttime Eagle Owls visit on the same platform. Nearby feeders for smaller forest birds also provide additional photography opportunities.

One of the hides features large windows, making it easier to follow the movements of Goshawks and anticipate action at the feeding platform.

Reviews & Experiences

"It was a breathtaking experience to watch the Eagle Owl. Thanks for making it possible! All worked fine and the Owl visited the feeder about five times. We got some nice pics."

"At the beginning of June, we had the wonderful experience to "meet" the Eagle Owl in your hide. We will forever remember the moment when the Owl arrived for the first time! It came back several times during the night to eat a bit of the hare. When the Owl wasn't there, we had a lot of fun photographing a large diversity of songbirds."
