Wildlife sound recording field trips – Black River Valley – central Sweden.

These trips bring those with an interest in the sounds of nature to the very special environment of the Black River Valley in central Sweden. Though only two hours flight time from the UK there is a real sense of wilderness here difficult to find elsewhere in Europe. There are plenty of opportunities for sound recording and for photography as well as it is an ideal destination for those wishing to avoid man-made disturbance!

The Black River Valley is a mixed landscape of forest and wetlands lying at the southern edge of the northern ‘Taiga’ forest belt which stretches around the globe. The natural environment is healthy here as indicated by the presence of top predators such as wolf, lynx and sea eagle, as well as a wide range of other species such as European elk, beaver, wild boar, capercaillie, European crane, corncrake, snipes and bittern.

Today I had the opportunity to photograph the otter couple at a close distance. So playful and such lovely animals to observe! Is this the return of the otter in the Black River Valley?
 
The number of otters in Sweden today is estimated at between 1 500 and 2 000. The otter is rising again after a sharp decline, probably due to environmental toxins. Today, traffic is a big problem, many otters killed by traffic each year. Drowning in fishing gear is also common. The otter is mainly active at night, but may also be in motion during the day in undisturbed areas. In Sweden is the otter red-listed as vulnerable and totally protected since 1969. We wish the otter a very warm welcome!
