JukkaAnother day in the goshawk forest. I followed a pair Eurasian jays go about their day. They moved in the trees and seemed to pull snacks out of nowhere – probably food they had cached earlier. Surprisingly, they mimicked goshawk calls. And since they spoke of their devil, it did appear a while later. <br> <br> A passerby told me he had seen the goshawk pair mating in the morning while the female was eating a squirrel. Huh, they are early...<br> <br> Finally, I noticed that there were still a few hardy lingonberries on the ground. The berries keep well. The setting sun lit them and the surrounding heathers beautifully. <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lingonberry?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lingonberry</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/vacciniumvidisidaea?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vacciniumvidisidaea</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/heather?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heather</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/callunavulgaris?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#callunavulgaris</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/eurasianjay?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eurasianjay</a> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/garrulusglandarius?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#garrulusglandarius</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/eurasiangoshawk?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eurasiangoshawk</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/accipitergentilis?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accipitergentilis</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/helsinki?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#helsinki</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/finland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#finland</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/winter?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#winter</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/february?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#february</a>
Jukka"Good morning, mister Blackbird. I'm looking for the king and queen of this forest. I trust that the calls of your friends will lead me to them." They did, but the queen was nowhere to be seen – the king was present. After all these years with the goshawks of Helsinki, my heart still skips a beat when I spot one. <br> <br> I left the forest to see if there was anything else interesting to photograph. The weather was... Well, you see the photos. At least I saw a bit of sunlight for a brief moment. There is little snow left: January was warmer than usual, and February is off to a poor start. But hey, snowberries still look pretty. Speaking of white... While I was walking home, I spotted something moving in the brook next to me: a white-throated dipper at long last.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/helsinki?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#helsinki</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tali?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tali</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mätäjoki?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mätäjoki</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/finland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#finland</a> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/february?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#february</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/blackbird?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackbird</a> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/turdusmerula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turdusmerula</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/eurasiangoshawk?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eurasiangoshawk</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/accipitergentilis?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accipitergentilis</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/whitethroateddipper?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#whitethroateddipper</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cincluscinclus?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cincluscinclus</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/birds?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a>
