Pale light of midsummer dawn in the TaigaThis sodden landscape is the most extensive wild area left on earthCold mists as the sun risesTiny Siskin, fluffed up against the chillFirst sunlight through the treesSweet melodies from Willow Warblers can be heard throughout the summerThe song of the Tree Pipit is also commonly heard - <br>repeated, brittle phrases given from a songperchPeatbogs, stands of conifer and waterwaysBeaver silently swimming upstreamGreenshank in the reeds - its piping call is far-carryingDaylight reveals the subtle colours of this part of the worldMale Brambling on songA rare Siberian Jay sits quietlySharp light of the near-arcticFieldfares are ground feeders and high songperch singersConiferous forest and a carpet of mossThe eerie cries of Whimbrels are often given on the wingMoose grazing quietly on open ground - male and two femalesThe Redstart - one of the many summer breeding migrants to the northern Taiga
