These stunning photos of brown bears in the forests of Finland are the result of one photographer's endless hours of patience. During his two week trip wildlife photographer Will Nicholls spent 15 hours a day in a tiny wooden hide as he attempted to catch a glimpse of these elusive creatures. Despite their formidable size, the ancient Taiga forests that the bears call home extend for hundreds of miles meaning it can be extremely hard to spot them. Added to this there are estimated to be just 1,700 European brown bears left in Finland. Will comments: "I spent 15 hours each day, every day for 2 weeks, in a small wooden hide on the Russian Border in Finland. "With the sun never completely setting, I was awake through the night in an effort to spot one of Europe's most elusive mammals: the European brown bear.
