02.30, 3rd June 2008, Sokanaapa, Sokanharju, Pelkosenniemi. 15’14"
In the far north, on the distant horizon, the dazzling midnight sun shines a dim light into the expanse of wooded hills, fells and wetlands. A ridge runs like an arm into the edge of the wetlands with a narrow pine forest. On this ridge, there is an ancient lichen-covered fir tree forest which makes a zig-zag pattern against the horizon of the night sky. In the gloomy light which penetrates down to the forest floor, just beside a venerable ant-hill, in the trunk of a dead standing tree, one can find the nest of the three-toed woodpecker. As the gloom of the night fades into the early morning dawn, the woodpeckers start their rhythmic drumming. The forest starts to resound and the chorus of birds swells through the wetlands. Common Cuckoo, Willow Warbler, Eurasian Black Grouse, Redwing, Tree pipit, Common snipe, Common Crane, Eurasian Curlew, Bean Goose, Common Redstart, Willow Grouse, Brambling, Crow, Common Redpoll, Crossbill
