j.savilaThis is an American mink, a harmful invasive species in Finland. It preys on the eggs of many water birds, which haven’t naturally evolved defenses against such a predator in the Finnish archipelago. To control its population, mink hunting is actively encouraged. <br> I took this photo in the Turku archipelago a couple of years ago. The mink was playing on the ice, rolling in the snow, climbing on the rocks, and diving into a hole it had made in the ice. Despite being an invasive species, it’s undeniably an adorable animal.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/WildlifePhotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildlifePhotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NaturePhotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NaturePhotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AmericanMink?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanMink</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Mink?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mink</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Wildlife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wildlife</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Finland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Finland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/BalticSea?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BalticSea</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ArchipelagoSea?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArchipelagoSea</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/TurkuArchipelago?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TurkuArchipelago</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Suomi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Suomi</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Itämeri?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Itämeri</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Saaristomeri?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Saaristomeri</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/TurunSaaristo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TurunSaaristo</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Luontokuvaus?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Luontokuvaus</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Valokuvaus?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Valokuvaus</a>

j.savilaI photographed these Northern Lights last spring in the Archipelago Sea. The dark forest on the small island, with the restless sea surrounding it, made the experience of watching the auroras even more breathtaking.<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NorthernLights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NorthernLights</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AuroraBorealis?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuroraBorealis</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NightPhotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NightPhotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Finland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Finland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ArchipelagoSea?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArchipelagoSea</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Stars?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stars</a>
