On Sunday [18 July], we had returned the day before from a tough but rewarding annual waterbird monitoring expedition to the montane tundra. The day had started slowly, mainly taking care of ourselves and the equipment. Part of our group had left early in the morning to drive south and prepare for the coming working week – we were due to stay at Kilpisjärvi Biological Station for a few days with Hanna Laakkonen and Aleksi Lehikoinen to take part in a course for Arctic Fox nest monitoring.
We were on our way to the local grocery store in the village of Kilpisjärvi but before leaving lingered a while at the parking place to marvel at the nice scenery over the lake and Swedish and Norwegian sides of the Scandinavian Mountains. Hanna and Aleksi had already hopped into the van, and I, too, had the driver's door open when I heard a distant song phrase which I did not recognise. I waited for a while and the phrase repeated.
