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.

Mindspring Music presents: Nautis – Invisible Garden [MSM148]
A spacious and finely crafted work from Nautis—his first release on Mindspring.
Originally brought to life at The Dome, Ozora 2024, Invisible Garden carries that same immersive weight. Each piece moves with intention: detailed, grounded, and wrapped in a rich sonic warmth. Live strings, percussion, and guitars thread through deep psychill landscapes—carefully balanced, never ornamental.
A quietly powerful entry from an artist with a distinct voice and vision.

Crocodile Hippies Lyrics -

Show me the way to the Crocodile Hippies,
Lounging on the rainbow trapeze,
Robed in red they wear the cloak of stars,
Fortune tellers with purple jars,
Within the jars sacramental treasure,
The crocodile hippies will grant your pleasure.

Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies.

Walk me down to the riverside bed,
Where Crocodile Hippies are all dressed in red,
With blue stars painted in the palms of their hands,
Where concealed mirages of crocodile lands,
Come in to existence, concede to the seer,
Imbued with magic from the crocodiles sphere.

Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies.

Guide me to the yellow flower ground,
Where crocodile wisdom can be found,
Put 6 petals in your mouth,
Turn around and face the south,
Hold your hands up to the sun,
Now your crocodile wisdom has begun.

Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies,
Crocodile Hippies.

Magic Mountain - Crocodile Hippies

Nothing special here just a microphone sticking out the window to capture some of that storm winds thru the trees at the top of the garden. The microphones were mostly sheltered from the wind so this is not a wind demonstration of the Radius Mini-alto at all. I'm sure it would have struggled otherwise but still, I did have a few gusts of wind hit the windshield and it did just as well as my Rycote WS1's  would have so I'm happy.
