Bird of the Year 2018: Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus)

[Hagnat]

This camera will be taken down soon because it´s a crowdy place at berry time.

The cam is already running longer than I expected, but it is good to know that when he stops now he probably is gone. Better than the complete lack of communication regarding the kulgur-cam.

Well, we hope that the capercaillie be preserved us into a new one in 2019!

Good morning
two little Birds. ...

I saw an heard the one in your first picture and based on the sound and the way it moved it was a Pipit and that could only be aTree Pipit. Your second bird was a Mistle thrush.

Just after 6 a male Blackbird was on the ground beneath the cam.

Since a couple of days there is almost no sound, not even the wind in the trees.
