    I think you and the squirrel are friends. The squirrel accepts you and allows you to approach. Your world and the squirrel are so simple and close to nature that many people have never experienced before.

    The subarctic spring is such an intense change, almost abrupt. Light, birds, crazy snow melt, green leaves, insects, flowers. I grew up a bit north of where you are, and I now live in Stockholm - a fair bit to the south, and even here, the springs are much less intense.

    Absolutely beautiful photography of the grouse lekking, in all their puffed up majesty. It's similar to the sharp-tailed grouse swagger in North America however the black grouse is much more colorful. Their red eye combs are such a brilliant color contrasting with their black feathering. Thank you for sharing.

    There is also a forest here where the rare white-backed woodpecker has settled. It is a primeval forest, which in the summers becomes a djungle. Welcome ..!

    Hi Dani, once again such nice video. I fully agree with your thoughts. Spring is the best time when first colours coming back and the wildflowers covers the ground in the woods, the tiny bushes get their first green leafes and than in days the forrest explode with new leafes. The first green of the forrests hurts my eyes. Nice to watch the birds talking to each other. In my garden I've provided wild bees cleaned appartements and they are very busy. One of my nest boxes has been rented out and such makes me feel good. Nice footage of the black grouces. Btw, the Dani styly pizza looked very yummy. CU

    Nice one Danni, this is a lovely video; very well done indeed. I was in middle-Sweden two weeks ago for a week; although life was clearly stirring, the water in the lakes was SO cold and it occurred to me that the forests seemed oddly silent - everything was at least a month behind the UK. I'm back in mid-June and I really can't wait to see the difference a few weeks make!
