The Siberian corydalis or Great-flowered Fumewort (Corydalis nobilis)
Originally the great-flowered fumewort
was planted in the park of the Vanhakartano estate
as an ornamental plant. Now it grows wild and has spread
to the groves of Kirkkosaari Island, and in places,
forms impressive blossoms. The plant is an important
part of Köyliö’s Vanhakartano estate’s history,
and the estate, for its part, is an essential part of Köyliö’s history.
The Osprey or Bald buzzard (Pandion haliaetus)
In Köyliö the osprey is a fairly
visible and common bird, as a few pairs living in
the surrounding area fish for their food in Lake Köyliönjärvi.
The osprey is the bird chosen to be Lake Köyliönjärvi’s protective
society’s symbol. The fish farm reservoirs also naturally attract
the ospreys. The osprey, an impressive bird that is recognized even
by ordinary people, lives around the mires and lakes in the Satakunta region.
