29.04.2010, 03.40, North Savo 2’57". The heather-covered pine forest slopes gently down to a bog filled with marsh tea and sphagnum moss. Here and there one can see stalks of blueberries thrusting through the mossy carpet. In this isolated part of the conifer forest, one can find a large courtship arena of the capercaillies; it may even be several hectares in size. Since the beginning of March, the site has been much frequented by the cocks and now at the end of April, the spring tournament is reaching its climax. Now the centre of the arena is well defined by the edge of the boggy marsh near the mossy carpet covered clumps of higher ground. This is the site where the mature cocks sing, strut and parade while they await the arrival of the hens. European Robin, Song Thrush.
