Hi flowergirl,

Sorry, I probably haven’t been as clear in my descriptions as I could have been!

The piping call throughout is a Scops Owl. The Snowcock can be heard about 40 seconds in. It’s song is a clear, gliding, ascending whistle, with a kind of yodelling shift in pitch, in total only a second or two in duration. It is heard from some way off, the bird must have been high up on the rock face. It only calls a few times during this audio clip, and that 40 sec one is the clearest.

Hi Leif,
It was a pretty special place. I hope to be able to put it to CD shortly after our return home in July. Hope you’re well in Finland – its been wonderful for us to have the opportunity to explore your Scandinavian landscape, albeit Sweden.
