  • Join me to do bird and wildlife photography. This time I photograph the elusive black grouse and it is easy to join me as a wildlife photographer. The lek of the black grouse is one of the most facinating mating games and nature rituals of the North, if not even in the world and is a brilliant opportunity for bird photography.
    🐺 ABOUT THIS VIDEO
    When spring starts to hit the marshes of Norway, a tens of thousands years old tradition takes place again. The lek of the black grouse. Closely related to the Capercaillie, also this grouse bird fights for its right to mate in front of the eyes of everyone that dares to observe. Black grouse show a distinctive sexual dimorphism, the females with greyish-brown feathers while the male displays black and deep blue feathers and the characterising red bare skin above their eyes. Even females from time to time display on leks, like you will see in this series if you look closely.

    Thanks for watching! It has been some time since the last part, so I hope you enjoy some Black Grouse action. I know the music is a bit dramatic, but I did not find a better mix so far :P

    Brilliant footage Gunnar! Around the 12:00 mark is every bit as good as anything the BBC have produced. 👏 Dramatic stuff, beautifully shot and edited!

      Thank you, Gladys. I did find some birds closer to home, but a real site has still to show itself. But I will be out there searching earlier next season, especially since I am already there... not like this year when I just came in late March. Cheers

      To finally have sunlight was a treat, yes. Makes photography easier :P It is nice that you can sleep in that hide, though it could be 5-10cm longer in length for my body size :D
