Black Grouse lekking

This has been my nemesis bird. For three years I have been trying to record its song and today it happened. I was out in the forest to set up a hide for the Capercaillie lek in advance (will start in one month's time) when I flushed a hazel grouse. In the recording you will hear the contact call the first minute together with lekking black grouse in the distance. After one minute it starts to sing. In the end of the recording you will hear some kind of sub-song of the hazel grouse. Don't know if this has been recorded before. Other birds in the recording are mistle thrush, skylark, jay, raven, coal tit, crested tit, great tit and more. Älgpussen, Uppland. March 19, 2023.

Hazel Grouse in song, finally!

Recorded under cliffs in Alps - no wind was that night so there was almost complete silence . 
Owls and later falling rocks from cliffs which was maybe trigger by some animal walking high above microphones.
