I'm hopefully going to see a Capercaillie lek
So what's the thing with a lek?
It's like a mirage -- suddenly they are there, and suddenly they're gone
If you want to see it, you have to be at the right place at the right time
It's a short bike ride before I arrive
Now it's time to find the hide...
...without getting wet in the swamp.
It's quarter past six in the afternoon...
...and I want to get into the hide quickly...
...so I don't disturb the *** when they're flying in.
This is a special lek,
because it's in a swamp.
Nice for them but a bit annoying for me.
Now I'm arriving at the hide.
Almost there.
I have to settle quickly and prepare for tomorrow.
Now I have to get everything ready.
Coffee.
Water.
And I'll pee in this one.
Now its half six, and everything is ready. Now I'll have to wait for the *** to fly in...
...and land in the trees near by.
Now its ten,
And the Song Thrush and Robins are silent.
Now I have to get some sleep
I hope tomorrow will bring some action.
We'll see.
This is the last time for me in the hide this year.
It's been more exciting than ever.
This is something special.
The *** are still in the area...
So I have to leave quickly
But I've had fun!
For sure!
Now the *** are gone,
and all they left behind is their droppings.
Big things.
Filled with pine needles.
