The little troll is actually a bird. The Great Snipe.
The Greate Snipe arrives to nortern Sweden from eastern Africa in May. In June and Around midsummer the Great Snipe has an very special display for gaining the best tussock that is won by the best player.
During autumn the Greate Snipe migrates back to Africa in an extraordinary speed and can travel as far as around 7000 kilometers in three and half days.

GoodMorning Nature April

It is 11:th of may 2015. Time is 04:03.
I had four beautiful days around lake Holmsjön in Uppland Sweden.
The sun just started to warm up the surface of the lake.
There is almost absolutely quiet but for nature sounds.
You can hear small fish and larger rainbow trouts hunt for insects.
Six cranes passed by doing one lap over the lake just to disappear back to the same direction they came from.
It was really one of those magic mornings.

Forest soundscape

Early morning in the coastal parts of Umeå, Sweden. It is one of the last days in august.
The soundscape is very quiet. Birds are gathering for migration to the south.

GoodMorning Nature August

Cold Waves

Well You don´t very often find moments in nature when it is free from human noise pollution from cars, aeroplanes, motorcycles or other stuff. You usually have a few hours per week when everybody is a sleep and just nature contributes to the soundscape.
This could have been such a beautiful moment but it was interrupted by nature itself. To be precise by two annoying ducks(Mallards). One duck is defending its territory in a small bay a bit to the left and behind me and the other one is harassing this guy from outside the bay to the right. He does a good job.
Please guys. Go AWAY!

Please Go Away

After a couple of hours drive from home and in the end on really bad gravel roads I was far into the fir tree forest of Uppland. It was a wonderful silence with only the modest sound from the wind and a few birds singing. Goldcrest, Song thrush, Chaffinch, Willow warbler and a Dunnock. The recording was done in May 2015.

Far Into The Forest

This was a lovely morning in Napa Valley, Lesbos, Greece May 1, 2015. The night had been quite cold and the sun was very welcomed.

In these days we are very much exposed to noise created by ourselves. Noise pollution if you like.
We can seldom transport our selves from point A to B without making really serious noise. How do we even cut the grass, whip cream or brush our teeth without making noise from petrol- or electric driven tools? :) Well we don't.
Undoubtedly we are affected by noise pollution in a bad way. That's why i truly love to escape to places where the soundscape is untouched and consists of only pure nature sounds. They are not very easy to find though.
I make recordings only as memories of beautiful soundscapes. Mainly to listen to when i feel a need for relaxing for a while and going back in time and place.
Recorder is mostly Sound Devices 702 and an ORTF setup of large membran mics. The sound is presented in mpg-format but is recorded in 24-192 wave.
