Tetrao, also known as the capercaillie and black grouse, is a fascinating bird species that captivates with its stunning displays and unique behaviors. In the snowy landscapes of Cairngorms National Park in Scotland, the male Capercaillie stands out as it proudly showcases its vibrant plumage while displaying for potential mates. Similarly, in Finland during April, the Black Grouse takes center stage at leks, where males gather to compete for female attention. From Tver to Kuusamo in Russia and beyond, Tetrao species continue to amaze observers. The Western Capercaillie calls out amidst raindrops in March while perched on a branch of a Scots pine tree. Meanwhile, male Black Grouses engage in intense fights on leks covered in snow during April. These birds are not only visually striking but also exhibit remarkable acrobatic skills. The Black Grouse performs flutter jump displays with precision and elegance at Cairngorms National Park. Their flight through the Scottish skies adds an element of gracefulness to their already impressive repertoire. Photographers have managed to capture these moments beautifully; one image even features bokeh effects that enhance the enchanting display of a Lyrurus tetrix male against a blurred foreground. As winter arrives in Tver, Russia, Tetrao tetrix males adapt by showcasing their resilience against harsh conditions. They stand tall amidst snow-covered landscapes without losing their majestic appeal. Whether it's witnessing these magnificent creatures battling for dominance or observing them harmoniously calling alongside females at leks across different regions—Tetrao never fails to leave us awe-inspired by nature's wonders.
