about

27.04.2010, 06.00, North Savo 2’06". Just around May Day, the activity in the courtship arena has become frenetic. Early in the morning, the capercaillie cocks are battling feverously for the favours of the hens. The hens have located a good nesting site on the snow-free, warm, southern slopes of a hill where the ground is no longer frozen, even a bit warm. When the courtship rituals reach their climax, the hens can travel long distances, as much as tens of kilometers to reach the arena where the cocks have gathered. The hens select the top cock (alpha-cock) from the group. In this track, you can hear a group of hens uttering their invitation calls and also the rarely heard long, drawn-out, begging sound. Greenfinch, Eurasian Black Grouse, European Robin, Wood Pigeon, Chaffinch, Song Thrush, Whooper Swan.
