I am an active birdwatcher and bird photographer from Ut\u00f6 in Parainen ,<\/a> with over 60 years of experience in the hobby (I am one of the founding members of the Turku Ornithological Society). My favorite destination is the outer archipelago, especially the lighthouse island of Ut\u00f6, where we use an old archipelago farm\u2014which my spouse, Outi Sarjakoski, and I own\u2014as our base. In 2010, I moved to Ut\u00f6 permanently. Every year, I try to take a few birding and photography trips abroad (to the WP region). In recent years, the most popular destinations have been Spain, Portugal, and Norway.<\/p>

The primary photography equipment consists of a Sony A1 II + FE 400-800 mm f\/6.3-8 G OSS + a 1.4x teleconverter. I also use a Sony A7 Mk VI with a Sigma 500\/f5.6 DG DN lens.
Outi\u2019s camera is a Sony A7 Mk V with a Sony SEL 70-350 F4.5-6.3 G OSS lens. For landscape & travel photos we use also Sony RX100 VI camera.<\/p>

I watch birds through my Swarovski ATX 30-70×115 spotting scope, which has a 1.7x teleconverter.
Our binoculars include the Swarovski EL 10×32, the Kite APC 12×42 ED, the Canon 15×50 IS AW, the Kowa 10×32 SV, and a Gitzo tripod (carbon fiber, No. 3531) is a Manfrotto 503HDV video head for the camera.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
