about

20.05.2012 at 03.33 Hyrynsalmi, Ukko-Halla. It is landscape full of swampy ponds and tree-covered hillsides. By the edge of the pond, you can find a carpet of sphagnum moss but further away from the edge of the water where the trees grow, there is a hummock of moss embroidered with Labrador Tea plants and Dwarf Birch trees. Sticking out of the moss carpet one can make out the deep green leaves of cloudberry plants just blossoming into flower. By this idyllic aquatic landscape by the wall of willow trees, there is a small gap bathed in sunlight between the trees. Dotted around are tall dead-standing trees almost like watchful guardians. Here the mother bear has brought up her cub in the early summer. It was quite a surprise to be able to capture the sounds of a bear. The recording equipment had been hidden in the woods near the lakeside and it clearly captured the sound of a mother bear. During its morning patrol, the bear had picked up the scent of the device. The first part of the track has the bear picking up the scent in its nostrils and she starts to make a cough-like sound, very similar to a human. A few moments later and the bear approaches the microphones growling as she nears them but after she convinces herself that they are harmless, she moves away. Red wing, European robin, Dunnock, Willow warbler, Song thrush, Eurasian siskin.
