Black Grouse

Male Black Grouse 

There are no Black Grouse in Spain, as this is a bird that inhabits the moors, bogs and forests of central and northern Europe. The Black Grouse is a sedenteray species, in decline over much of its range. Fortunate are those who have seen this handsome bird, or heard its far-carrying, bubbling song. More fortunate still is Erlend Haarberg: his mission for the Wild Wonders of Europe was to photograph Black Grouse on a lek in Sweden

Of course he succeeded, and admirably. But don’t take our word for it, read the original article here.

  4. Hello John
    Thank you for commenting, although I must reply that there are no Black Grouse anywhere in Spain, if that is where you are referring to! I wonder what it could have been?
