Wednesday 18th of July 2018 and I wake up at 5 o'clock and I have my chocolate bar for breakfast. I spend the morning looking out the hide but I don't see any more exciting animals. They will be here at 7 thirty to pick us up
So I have some time to kill, but it is a beautiful landscape so I kill the time enjoying the views and my chocolate. I also take some stupid pictures to send by Line and time pass pretty quickly.

Sending some early morning Line messages
I enjoyed a gorgeous morning, spectacular view over the lake even if there wasn't any bears or wolfs. I drank water eating chocolate and even though I had a good time it was very nice when I could leave the hide at 7 thirty. Coming out and I walked the 100 meters to the gravel road where I was waiting for the van to pick us up.
The Danish couple had also spent the night in a hide at the lake and we discussed what we had seen while waiting for the van. The van is coming and we go back to Base Camp Kuikka for breakfast, and I will have time to look for birds before breakfast.
And today we could tell the driver that we had seen a wolverine during the night in the hide.

Back at Base Camp Kuikka and I have a look for birds before breakfast. My friend the Squirrel was back from yesterday and I saw a Common Bullfinch couple. There were more birds but I never got any pictures. I had an excellent breakfast and I drove back to my room.
A shower and I looked at my pictures from the hide while having a MAX A quick power nap and I had another MAX before driving back to Base Camp Kuikka where I went to look for birds before it was time for dinner.
Maybe because of the heat, but there wasn't much birds. I got pictures of a Eurasian Siskin / Grönsiska, but not any good pictures. And the bird was identified by the help of the Birdforum.

Thanks to birdboybowle at Birdforum I could identify this bird.
During the dinner the guide ask where I want to spend the night. I haven't seen any wolf so I told him that I wanted to stay where the best chance to see a wolf. The Lake and the Paradise had the same chance. In the caravan you have a great chance to see Wolverines.
My new friend form America had spent last night in the caravan and he had seen Wolverines and even a Moose at a far distance.
I decide to spend the last night at the lake and I thought that I was going alone. There are 3 hides at the late and when we left Base Camp Kuikka it was me, my new friend from USA and two ladies from South Africa in the van. The ladies from South Africa had some travel company and they were talking non-stop.
I took the same hide as yesterday and the South African ladies the hide between me and my new friend from USA. And it was hot in the hide as it had been every night.
Doesn’t this sound like the bird is saying DUCK OFF?
I heard it before and I wondered what it was. Now I heard it again and I was lucky to get one call. The sound was heard a few times with a few seconds between.

Well, it had been a very good evening in the hide. But no wolfs! I went to sleep after having sent a few Line messages. Last night in Finland and I will drive to Sweden after breakfast tomorrow. And I will cover a lot of road, about 700km tomorrow as I have to be in Skultuna on the 21st of July for beaver safaris. Click HERE to find out if I make it back to Sweden.
