Nice moon and silence was this night, back scrolling enabled to listen Boreal Owl together with first voice of Capercaillie. There nearby (500m and further) were a forest cutting machines what made continuous noise, day and night. Probably holidays this night...

Ok, they sounded nearer, guess they are legal

Song Thrush singing
Wonder why the Pygmy Owl don't sing this year..
Tundra Swan

No i'ts a Boreal Owl
But before that it sounds like a Long Eared Owl hooting

Today was quite active and fun - or maybe it still is?

I had to look elsewhere and I lost the bird/s.. I am going to wait a bit

I just need to find them/him

But again for me personally this is the best morning yet, plenty of activity, and even really close to the cam, hence why I tried to give some views of his feet.

Capercaillies have feathers on their feet, to withstand the cold ground
