Black Grouse lek interrupted

Black Grouse lek

Ruthagsskogens Naturreservat, Sweden
Notes:

Seven males black grouse were present on their lekking ground this morning but since no female was there, they only played for 20 minutes around 5AM and then 10 minutes around 8AM. This recording was “destroyed” by a redwing in the end that sang straight into the microphones!
