Great Grey Owls are breeding in Uppland this year. A drop rig was placed overnight about 75 m away from the nest and you can hear the female beg for food throughout the night and when the males finally arrives he starts off by singing to the female just before and/or after delivering the food. At dawn a Lynx passed close by as well. One of the very lucky mornings! Uppland, May 4, 2024.
