about

03.06.2013 at 23.20 Savukoski, Akanvaara. The lynx is no friend to the reindeer herders. Should the populations of hare and grouse fall, then the lynx may turn to reindeer for its food. Especially in late spring-early summer when the reindeer are calving, the newborn reindeer calves are easy prey for the lynx. An adult reindeer is a much more dangerous opponent for a lynx since it can defend itself – a hefty blow from a reindeer can even kill a lynx. In the early summer before it gets too hot, the reindeer graze in the forests and aapa swamps. By the middle of June, when the mosquito population explodes, the reindeer make their way to the upper slopes of the fells where the insects are kept at bay by the wind. On this track, you can hear the calves and adult female reindeer in the forest pastures. The sensual glow of the midnight sun bathes the entire landscape. At this time the birds of this part of Lapland sing through the night to the accompaniment of the bells around the necks of the reindeer and the call-response sounds of the calves and their mothers.Brambling, Tree pipit, Common cuckoo, Redwing, Willow warbler, Black grouse, Siberian jay, Song thrush.
