Pohtiolampi Osprey Center
Pohtiolampi Osprey Center, maintained by the Finnish Osprey Foundation and located in Kangasala, Finland, welcomes you to observe ospreys’ impressive preying of salmon trouts. The ospreys can be observed from a public bird-watching tower open to all visitors. The watchtower holds 25 people and is also accessible for wheelchair users. Up in the tower, you have the opportunity to photograph the preying taking place at the ospreys’ fish catching pond just some 40 meters away.
For amateur and professional photographers, there are six rentable bird hides located around the fish pond. The bird hides allow you to take close-up shots of the ospreys’ splashes and dives into the water, and also spot the grey herons, goosanders and various other animals residing in the fish pond area.Osprey Center opening hours in 2013:
