about

20 May 2004, 4.20 a.m. Pelkosenniemi, Aapajärvi.
The first rains and the first warm sunny days of the spring have melted the ice and snow and now large tracts of land are under water. At this time, your ears hear nothing but the songs of the returning migratory birds. The inaccesible pine swamps and fens provide safe and secure nesting sites for the Bean Geese and the other birds who live in these wetlands. At the edges of the swamps, where the dark green trees give way to the fenlands, one can hear a symphony of birdsong and breathe the intoxicating scent of the spring. Spotted Redshank, Redwing, Common Greenshamk, Willow Warbler, Black Grouse, Wood Sandpiper, Common Snipe, Common Raven, Common Redstart, Eurasian Wryneck, Whimbrel, Yellow Wagtail, Willow Ptarmigan, Common Cuckoo.
