Capercaillie Metsis or mõtus Tetrao urogallus
The sun in southern
When the hens arrive to the lek area the first cock lands on the ground and soon also the other participants in the lek.
The movements of the capercaillie cock at the lek are magnificent; you can see it in the video. The lek generally ends in late morning and the birds head for their usual activities.
Early morning risers find an overview from the camera and we will write, given time, about the activities and doings of the Bird of the Year.
