Wonderful stories and photos, Love the last 2 photos on post 7 of the WT Eagle & Goldie, and the Goldie photos on your last day especially.
I know www.finnature.fi do a similar thing from their photography hides at Utajarvi, 70kms from Oulu between Jan - March. This year they have had upto 10 Goldies, 2 WT Eagles most days, and also occasional Goshawk & Gyr Falcon too.
By comparison, their 5 day trips this year cost £1284 (1320 euros), that includes 3-4 visits to the hide (8-12 hour stints in a heated hide), also opportunity once to photo local owls like Great Grey owl, all transport, and 4 nights accommodation full board. So seems good value but cannot say whether the value for money overall or quality of photographical opportunity is as good?? Finnature's excellent website tells you more.
Flights cost about £200-£300 return additionally.

Fantastic reading and viewing jt.Have money in the bank,in case my beloved Man City make the UEFA Cup Final in Istanbul but if not,I shall be very tempted to spend it on such a trip.I agree with most on the enclosed Mammals not being Ideal but the birds were fantastic.
