For the past week, the migration of Barnacle Geese, or valkoposkihanhet in Finnish, has experienced a noticeable delay. Inclement weather, characterized by strong headwinds and rains, has kept the geese grounded in the fields of Southern, Southeastern, and Eastern Finland. However, predictions suggest that the migration will likely conclude by the upcoming weekend.
The geese migration barely progressed during the last seven days.
On the 2nd of October 2023, an enchanting avian spectacle unfolded in the skies of Eastern Finland as over half a million Barnacle Geese (Valkoposkihanhia) initiated their principal migration, heralding the approach of the harsh Nordic winter.
The spectacle, while mesmerizing, was delayed by persistent headwinds and rainfall which inhibited their journey for a longer period than usual.
