    Bubble & Shriek

    Two male Black Grouse joust for supremacy with the prize being a central position in the lek. The most dominant centrally placed males get all the gals. As the birds display & fight they produce bizarre bubbling cooing noises interspersed with harsh shrieks. These birds were in a lek of 26 males...

    Seen on the Lek at Langdon Beck today. Only five birds about by the time I arrived. They disperse to the moors soon after dawn. This one hopped onto the wall a few yards from me and dozed off in the sun. I had to walk away from it in order to get it in the frame. Most of the shots I got showed...

    We are fortunate to have quaite a good Lek up at Langdon Beck. Unfortunately I didn't have a scope last year. This male is in the middle of his courting display.
