about

29.04.2010, 21.24, North Savo 6’11". As the wind dies away, a calm has settled over the conifer forest. In the gloomy light of the evening, the cock capercaillies have arrived and are perched on branches awaiting the night. These large, black birds move around the stout branches of the pine trees seeking a suitable spot where they can spend the night. Just before the last traces of the day give way to a star-filled night lit only by the sickle-shaped moon, the cocks shriek out their guttural threatening sounds as if they are warning of the fast-approaching morning’s courtship battles. As the silence of the night engulfs the forest, one bird after another bends its neck sideways so that it can tuck its head under its wing as it slumbers through the night. Song Thrush, European Robin, Wood Pigeon, Whooper Swan.
