good morning.
Thank you Urmas.

Great that female is in the picture more often than other years

05:08

[Urmas]

Think there are different females. Those who visited lekking site earlier, they are incubating somewhere already. Late ones can be failed with early clutch or simply flegmatic.

[Fleur]

ok, Thanks.
So you would think that this female is not on eggs yet?
It would be nice if the camera could capture a nest, but they are so hard to find.

andrasiboti
I hear a Raven, a Cuckoo and some smaller birds.

[Urmas]

8 May
It was rainy night, but first male voices before 3 AM.
Soon after first voices continuous talk of local male follows, supported by Ural Owl calls.
Since 4:40 that monologue of Capercaillie slows down. Not sure, but maybe that males was always on tree.
6:08 some flight noise (of Cc?). Wind is getting stronger.

[maroni]

oh yes! Thx, Urmas! 3.00 some cc-calls, 4:06 Cuckoo ...
