Last year we had a very special visitor on the black grouse lek. A female capercaillie showed up on 4 different mornings. Her presence made the black grouse males go crazy. They nearly killed each other, just to get a chance to mate with her. Within those 4 mornings she got mated around 50 times! Our guests got to fill their memory cards hour after hour with insane images of this spectacle. If the mating was successful, there is a chance that hybrid grouse will show up on this lek next year. We can't wait to find out!
