Photograph Bears in Autumn in Kitula, Western Finland
In September you’ll experience vivid autumn colours and an increase in cub sightings around the hide area, and in Kitula in Western Finland bears tend to arrive earlier than in summer because competition for food grows-meaning longer visits and a higher chance to see several bears together; the day timetable is set one hour earlier to help you make the most of daylight. You’ll find autumn light and colour create fresh photographic opportunities, with a couple of hours of useful twilight after sunset and before sunrise, while on cloudy days photographic time from the hides in the forest is short (about 1–3 hours). Because evenings are twilit and nights dark, your chances to capture the Northern Lights and the full moon improve, so you can plan shoots and stays through Varoom that align with these seasonal wildlife and landscape highlights in Kitula.
