Hiding Black Woodpecker

Photographer Mia Surakka's nature photo exhibition “Hiding Black Woodpecker” is on display at the Natural History Museum's PopUp loft.

“I have chosen the pictures in such a way that they highlight the typical species behavior and personality of each depicted bird species. By using natural light in different ways, I can bring out contours, colours or the softness of feathers. You can find in my photos e.g. hiding black woodpecker, angry eagle, fighting black grouses and the master of the forest, capercaillie.”
