Hello

They often do that before the breeding season which is not far off.

I think it's some sort of territorial behavior.

03:29 - the camera stops..

Capercaillies have been calmed down. That is normal, as lekking time is over. Some males (maybe younger ones) still come to the site and make some voice before sunrise mainly. Now it is supported by Nightjar, as typical bird for such habitat.
It was nice to see lekking behavior in April, when females visited the site.
Something we learned about technical aspects of current camera, but not everything got clear about operating problems.
Many thanks to Andrasiboti for his great impact in operation of Capercaillie camera.
Camera will be online, since some other duty for that appears.

Thanks for keeping the stream open, especially during the night, anything can happen

Don't think any symphony orchestra ever can imitate the robin song
