The endangered capercaillie lek will be able to be seen up close for the first time at Balmoral Estate. The new virtual attraction allows visitors to see the capercaillie’s elusive mating ritual where males square up to one another to prove they are worthy of a mate. ‘Lekking’ involves turkey-sized males who square up to each other to prove to a hen that they are a worthy mate. But with fewer than 600 capercaillie now left in Scotland, they are protected. It is an offence to disturb them during

In April, the team completed the early morning Capercaillie lek counts at Abernethy for the season, and we’re pleased to report a minimum count of 30 lekking males, one more than in 2024 and 10 more than in 2021; continuing the gradual increase we’ve seen in recent years! Hens are always harder to count: they’re more camouflaged and don’t attend lek sites every day. This year’s warm, dry spring meant the lekking season was earlier than usual, peaking around 18th April. This made it tricky to cov

🌟 Saturday Star Species: The Capercaillie 🦃🌲 Did you know the name “Capercaillie” comes from the Gaelic Capall- coille, meaning “horse of the woods”? This likely refers to the unusual sounds males make during their displays to attract a mate! An icon of the Caledonian forest, Capercaillie thrive in old, mature conifer woodlands. Males can weigh up to twice as much as the camouflaged females and have glossy black bodies with a strong, yellow bill and a red mark above the eye. This seasons earl

I had the most bizarre experience when taking my one hour, lock down exercise on an estate near to where I live - this highly territorial capercaillie flew onto the track in front of me, not letting me past. There are only 1000 capercaillies left in Scotland and they are facing extinction. The RSPB has them on their red list. A member of the grouse family, the size of a turkey and a rather prehistoric looking bird. They are generally rarely seen so thought I share this strange encounter with you

These mornings were cold but magical 🥰⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ In May we spent 3 days at a capercaillie lek in the forest. The temperatures were still below 0°C but it was a very special atmosphere waking up to the sounds of the capercaillies after some hours of rest in the sleeping bag. And throughout the mornings I got some very nice filming possibilities and on the third and last morning I even filmed a mating 🙈.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Sony Alpha 1 | Sony a7siii | FE 200-600mm⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ I‘m filming wildlife for GULO Film
