I was lucky enough to be able to make my first trip to Finland and Ähtäri Zoo during the winter of 2019 to see the Snowpandas in the snow – and this experience of seeing pandas very quickly jumped to the top of my list of panda things to do! It was such a highlight to see the pandas rolling and playing in such deep snow, and it was great to visit a new country to see it – this was my first time in Finland, I’m definitely going to have to go back not only to see the pandas again but also to visit in the rest of the country. On this trip I was lucky to travel with another panda-loving friend which meant it was an easy agreement that we would just panda-watch for all 3 days of our trip! I ended up taking over 2000 photos on this trip, which is just ridiculous, this is a hugely cut down selection and is still a lot for one post!
