Lake Matalajärvi








Lake Matalajärvi, Espoo, 30.7.2014.

I often see great crested grebes and Canada geese
at Lake Matalajärvi. I've seen grey herons too, but
they're usually far away on the other side of the
lake. This time I was very lucky because one flew
over the lake near the birding tower.

  19. We have the Canada geese here and Blue Heron here as well. Small world!! Each Spring a pair of Canada Geese return to our place on the river and start their family. Now they are practicing for the long flight south. Thanks for sharing this pic.
