In all the chaos and fear and pain in the Human world right now, Nature just carries on. Äiti went out to get some peace and quiet, with a friend who is one of our Most Loyal Readers. He is a wise man who knows his footprints. He also knows what treats we like, and we thank him for those!
They saw these pawprints, and they belong to mighty ilves, the lynx which lives in our fine Finnish forests, but is very rarely seen. This is the first evidence of ilves which Äiti has ever seen, in the wild, and she was very happy.
