"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.

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.

Find the dipper.

(Pics aren’t great, apparently couldn’t get a stationary bird in focus. Poor camera, poorer photographer.)

Dipper had company. (Crappy mobile video but fun ice formations in the rapid.)
