Black grouse     Teder        Tetrao tetrix
 
During the first great and lasting thaw in February black grouse mating displays, or leks, certainly could be seen. See earlier article : LINK
 
More snow fell, and the grouse again sit in birches or  alders, feeding on the catkins and buds. It will still be some time before matings begin.
