Saukko! Huusimme nuoren miehen kanssa yhteen ääneen, kun ajoimme autolla joen vieressä kulkevaa tietä.
Isäntä pysäytti auton, ja peruutti autoa jonkin verran takaisin päin. Eläin näkyi vielä olevan paikalla, joten läksimme nuoren miehen kanssa menemään rinnettä alas, joen rantaan.
Pääsimme vähän lähemmäksi, ja näimme, ettei eläin ollut saukko, vaan kalastava minkki.
Minkki pysyi tosi kauan paikalla, ja sukelsi välillä veteen. Seurasimme eläimen touhuja, josko se nappaisi kalan.
Saalista ei näkynyt, joten läksimme nousemaan takaisin tielle. Päästyämme tielle kuului isännän ääni, "Minkillä on valtavan kokoinen kala!"
Ei muuta kuin takaisin rantaan. En ehtinyt näkemään kalaa minkin suussa. Eläin nimittäin lähti uimaan jokea ylöspäin, ja katosi kivien koloon.
Professional fisherman:) Beautiful captures.
VastaaPoistaYes it is very good fisherman;-)) Greetings

It was nice to see the animal, even though it is a beast and does not belong to Finnish nature. Greetings
PoistaThese are wonderful pics of the otter!
VastaaPoistaAmerican mink is rarely sees, although there are many in nature. Greetings
PoistaMinkki on niin uljas ja kaunis, vaikkei olekaan Suomen luontoon sopiva otus.
VastaaPoistaHieno löytö :-)
Pahaa tekee, kun ajattelee mitä tuho ne tekee linnuille ja muille eläimille.
PoistaThe mink is a beautiful animal but aggressive. Nice photos.
VastaaPoistaHappy weekend!
Yeah, it's an angry animal. One animal was stealing our fish when we were once in the summer with a fishing. Mink fizz us and hiding the fish in the rocks! Greetings
PoistaWell, you were lucky to see a lovely mink. Pictures very interesting. Greetings.
VastaaPoistaThank you very much Giga!

PoistaAnne, you can see many interesting animals in your country. You were lucky this time to see a mink.
VastaaPoistaHugs and greetings.
Hi Lucja-Maria! Animals are now easy to see when there is so much snow in the country;-)) Greetings
PoistaHyvä kuvasarja.
VastaaPoistaKiitos Anu;-)
PoistaI can understand your excitement at seeing the Mink - I would be excited too! However, Mink are a big problem in UK. About 50 years ago, 'animal rights' protesters had a programme of breaking into Mink farms, where the animals were being bred for the fur trade, and releasing all the Mink into the wild. They thought that they were being kind to the animals, but they did not understand the devastation that these aggressive animals would cause to other wildlife.
VastaaPoistaMy best wishes to you and the family - - - Richard
Yeah, so here too. Mink is a real beast that does not belong to Finnish nature. The hunters catch the minks, but there are so many in the wild doing damage to birds and other animals. Have a nice new day;-)
PoistaQue lindo!
VastaaPoistaPor estes lados... só mesmo em casacos de peles!... :-(
Nunca os vi, em plena natureza! Mais uma bela partilha, por aqui!
Beijinhos
