An eagle-owl in Helsinki for Finland's Independence Day

Feathered friend of the Finns. The owl that loved football

As the name indicates, you’ll find the Eurasian eagle-owl across Asia and Europe. The eagle-owl in our photo today lives near Helsinki, Finland. Why an eagle-owl on Finnish Independence Day today? When Finland’s national team was playing a qualifying match against Belgium in 2007, an eagle-owl flew onto the pitch, delaying the game for several minutes. Ever since, the Finnish team has been nicknamed ‘Huuhkajat’ – the eagle-owls. The owl, called ‘Bubi’ was later named Citizen of the Year in Finland.
