The bears were quite happy to hang around the hides which meant Dan could take his time & even try for some more creative shots as well as tight portraits.

He also managed to capture some beautiful behaviour shots of the bears climbing trees & swimming! I really think that the rain adds something special to the image of the bear standing up by the tree.

Dan said: “Just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for an impressive trip to Finland. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, with a good group of people. It was my first trip with you guys, but I don’t expect it to be my last, & I hope that I get the chance to visit Finland & the bears again in the future.”

Thanks to Dan for sharing his beautiful images with us & we hope to see you again soon!
