Last Hawk Owl for the season

Perhaps this was the last session I got with Hawk Owls this season. Such a charming creature. And a weasel showed up for a while as well.

Swans arrive with spring

The last week, a little taste of spring have finally been handed to us in this still rather wintery landscape. I was surprised to hear my first Wood Pigeon for the season in a remote pine forest and -10° C the other morning. At the same time Whooper Swans and the first Bean Geese have started to arrive to the valley, adding a lot of noice & atmosphere. Pygmy Owls are starting to be vocal and a bit easier to find as well these days.
