The Fight of the Black Grouse

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.
