The courtship displays of the great snipe by a flooded meadow

about

May 6th 2008 at 5.00. Litene, East Latvia. A small, hidden area in the shelter of a large and exposed flooded meadow serves as the arena for the mysterious courtship trials of strength of the great snipe. The wet reedy landscape is dotted with small ponds but in places there are muddy patches out of which grow tufts of grass. This is the spot where the great snipes hold their ritual courtship trials of strength. These start in the dusk of the evening but reach their climax as the sun rays herald the coming morning. At this time, the meadow resounds with the songs of many different species of birds. Species heard on this track: Common Snipe, Great Snipe, Redwing, Thrush Nightingale, Common Cuckoo, Reed Bunting, Eurasian Black Grouse.
