Black grouse has declined in numbers in Uppland quite dramatically. No wonder given the amount of clearcutting. This is one of the last black grouse cocks displaying all by himself on a clearcut.

The last Black Grouse

Two hours before dawn the beavers are very active gnawing away. Also the bittern and toads continue their calls throughout the night. At dawn the full morning choir replaces the somewhat muted sounds with woodcocks, cuckoos, willow warblers, chaffinches, wood pigeons etc.

Dawn with beavers

Going onto their second broods now in the Uk for many but thankfully still plenty singing. I can already start to here spring disappearing though, the dawn and dusk chorus is getting less vibrant. I seem to be so busy during that period I wish I had more time to experience it.
