Extra information

The Hanko Bird Observatory (1) was originally founded in 1979 and is maintained by the Helsinki region’s ornithological association. The scientists and volunteers of the station are dedicated to monitoring and researching bird migration patterns. While the observatory itself is primarily a research station, it does welcome visitors during certain periods. The best times to visit are spring (March–June) and autumn (August–November), when migration is at its peak. The observatory also organizes guided tours and visits.
