Evening/morning all. Quiet on the nest. FYI, the super-bright light that was on last night isn't there - just normal lighting.
.......yep, another mating.

Yes, if you heard it, without seeing it, you could say, to the unsuspecting visitor, that it was the mating call of the haggis! Oh dear, I can hear the groans going up again.........let's not get started again on haggii.

Thanks to all for info and pics of what is going on on the nest. I love capercaillies although never seen one 'in the flesh' - that sound is just great!

She has landed on the camera tree and making that intruder alarm noise
can still here her on the camera tree fluffing her feathers and the microphone must be quite close.
EJ back on nest. Odin flies in - mates and flies off!!
