The Fight of the Black Grouse
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- 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!
I hopefully know better next year. I know this place well enough and maybe find another, then I can use my time wisely and get more of that stuff :)
❤in other news, you are absolutely gorgeous 🥰 and so are those ruffly birds
Fantastic, thank you. Stay Well and safe travels. All the best. 👍📷😎
Thank you, Rob, as always :)
Great moments .. I have really fun watching your videos 🙏🙏
Glad you do :)
Hi Gunnar, marvelous video, as always I've enjoyed it very much! The photos are gorgeous. Even if you didn't find any wildlife at least you've enjoyed the beautiful nature, lucky you!
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
I realy realy like birds , birds are cool, ever saw a duck? So majestic! Awesome!
Achja? :D
Amazing adventure dude :D those Grouse sounds were incredible, great job on the audio! Amazing shots too
I should be using my recorder a bit more, but I too often forget that I have it there. Next time I will take up more flappydeeflappy wing sounds :D
Hang in there Gunnar. Great job and keep on doing this.
Thanks! I hope I will be able to :)
How lucky was you, that hard work payed off Gunnar, can’t beat a Tragopan Hide
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
Absolutely gorgeous and inspiring...you did a great job..!
Thank you so much, Jocelyn. Better prepped for next year :)
Tolles Video Gunnar 👍🏻🙂 Man hat das Gefühl live dabei zu sein 🙂
Sehr gut! Danke dir, Tobias :)
Fascinating birds! Thanks for sharing your adventure and great video!
Black grouse are quite something, I can only hope to find capercaillies next year :)
@@GunnarDresler In Poland, he is called the black knight
That is so cool :D
Really nice, I enjoyed that very much! I am heading out myself tonight, it´s been two years since my last time filming the Grouse so I´m really excited. Liked and subscribed! 🙂
Very nice video Gunnar! 🙂
Thank you very much, Pål :)
Another great video Gunner
Thank you, Harold :)
this video is beautiful !! nice work !!
That’s very kind of you :)
Sehr tolles Video😍💪 mein Puls geht immer hoch wenn ich dieses gegurgel und das gezische von den Birkhähnen höre. Einfach etwas vom geilsten zum fotografieren, wenn auch nicht gerade das einfachste!
Ich weiss auf jeden Fall so einiges was ich næchstes Jahr anders machen werde fuer ein wenig bessere Resultate. Es ist schon eins der verruecktesten Schauspiele dem man hier begegnen kann :) Schøn das es dir gefællt!
@@GunnarDresler Die Gedanke was man nächstes mal anderst oder auch besser machen kann/könnte hab ich auch immer. Birkwild erfolgreich zu fotografieren ist für mich persönlich ein anderes "Level". Die Vorbereitungen für die Balz im Frühjahr laufen auch schon🙂
Объектив плохо держит контровой свет, или мне просто показалось :) в любом случае , интересный сюжет !
