about

27.04.2011, 04.00, North Savo 7’43". The spring night slips away with the first rays of the dawn; you can hear the sound of the owl deep in the recesses of the peaceful, conifer forest. As the sun’s rays make their appearance, the delicate song of the Eurasian Robin bursts forth from a clump of spruce trees. Further away from the branch of a pine tree, the Mistle Thrush starts to tune up his cheerful, melodic song. As the gentle morning breeze stirs the trees, the cries of the Common Cranes spread through this spring morning. The cranes are newly arrived migrants which have found their nesting sites in the pasture close to a nearby lake in the forest. As the last of the migrating birds arrive at the end of April, the capercaillie hens start to become more animated. They fly either on their own or in small groups, seeking out the locations where the males hold their courtship rituals. This recording is a rather unique soundscape; not only are there several capercaillie cocks and hens but you can hear two different species of owls as well as a host of other inhabitants typically heard in the conifer forest. European Robin, Song Thrush, Eurasian Black Grouse, Whooper Swan, Tengmalm’s Owl, Mistle Thrush, Eurasian Pygmy owl, Herring gull.
