[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Last night we had some snow again,when looking in my archives I found this black grouse lekking,picture is made in Finland taken out from a hide,we were that day unfortunate with the distance these black grouses were,anyway since I havent posted a black grouse before on TN,in due time I hope to go back (or evt in sweden) to capture this beatifull bird from a closer distance,picture is fairly cropped and taken with 300mm with 1,4X teleconvertor,tfw.

this species is so hard to catch. we have only one photographer who shoot this species in my country.
thanks for sharing this wonder of nature

A pesar de la lejanía y dificultad de la toma, un buen documento sin duda. Espero que os llegue pronto el buen tiempo !
Un abrazo: Josep Ignasi.
