The sound is better this year and there are more cameras!
So far no meese. But I’m sure they will come soon.

But it’s super sneaky and was really hard to spot.

The Great Moose Migration seems to be the new name in english for Älgvandringen.
They have been struggleing with technichal errors. Yesterday there were problems with the sound and this night the most important camera spot stopped working. There will be maintenance at 8:00 but I’m worried this will scare away any meese that is nearby.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😥" title="Enttäuschtes, aber erleichtertes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Enttäuschtes, aber erleichtertes Gesicht">
The most important spot right now is of course ”Entrén”. That is the spot where the meese enters the area. And all of them have to pass there before visiting other spots and then hopefully swim.

We (as in the nerds that follow this slow tv show) call these “stubbdjuren”. That would be “stump animals”.
We also think they come alive at night and start eating on the camera cables and that is the cause of the weird noises at night…

Here is one from this morning. We think it’s a mum and that the other one is her daughter. Possibly same mum as last year at this time but that needs to be investigated.
I wish I could easily post a sound clip as well. There was a long-eared own and a common snipe making noises around midnight.

And here is the sound from the common snipe. Love this sound which reminds me of a trip to Iceland when we stayed in a cabin on a mountain and there were common snipes around us making noise all night.

The bonus area this year is ”the mire”. Most of the time there are Black grouses doing there courtship ritual. But sometimes you can also see other birds. Today we had cranes.
