Riding through the forest at sunset, hoping to spot some wildlife

I especially went for a bike ride only at 7 PM because I wanted to capture some wild animals on my action camera. The last few times I had ridden without my camera, I had already come across rabbits, foxes, and even elk, so I was hoping to get lucky again. But something went wrong, and during this ride I didn't see anything except one hedgehog in the middle of the forest trail. Even so, being in the forest after sunset, when everything was already quite dark, felt a little uncomfortable, especially among the trees. The only person I came across there was one determined motorcycle rider who was already leaving the forest.

After that, I left the forest and continued toward the park, where it immediately felt much more comfortable because the street lights were on and people had started to appear again. From there, I rode to my usual place with a roof to take a short break after the ride, but on the way I could feel mosquitoes and flies constantly hitting my face, and some of them even flew directly into my eye. However, once I finally reached my resting spot, I found a place in the center near the gardens and relaxed there for about 15 minutes before starting my ride home.
