Nature Sound World - Luontoäänien maailma

A calm spring morning. Blackbird and cuckoo singing in the new green birch forest.

Lake ice crackles in the background as the soundscape of spring begins to play as the sun rises.

What remains of the night's rain are raindrops on tree branches, falling to the ground at a leisurely pace as the morning dawns. The warm, still, moist air makes the birds sing and greet the rising sun. Abundant greenery fills the landscape.

A lively bustle at a bird feeding site in March. Spring in the air.

A gorgeous spring morning dawn. Goldeneyes (Bucephala clangula) race along the shore, the redwing (Turdus iliacus) starts the morning with a song and the ural owl (Strix uralensis) blows its last hoots of the night.

The song thrush is one of the great mood-setters of spring forest. Its song is beautiful, peaceful and relaxing to listen to.

Imagine yourself in a dark autumn forest. Complete silence, only the moon's soft light with you. Suddenly the darkness is cut by a maniacal laughter...

The warning call of the female eagle owl is perhaps one of the most frightening sounds in Finnish nature. If you don't recognise the caller, your imagination can run wild. The eagle owl was recorded in October on a gorgeous quiet night as the moon lit up the leafless forest.

The crisp, cool and still spring mornings are enchanting. The silence of the landscape gives way to the arrival of migrating birds. Sound and movement are everywhere. These are mornings to savour.

Darkness gives way to light. Birds singing enthusiastically fill the landscape.
