Media notes

I'm aimed at one male BBCA that has been displaying at this lek since at least 4:15am. It is now 5:44am, and most birds are still displaying! Recorded with a Zoom-F3, using a Sennheiser ME67 and foam windscreen.

Observation details

lek display from at least 0415 hours involving at least three birds, two seen extremely well at length; two more males seen to fly in as well; no females seen; lekking went on for over two hours; a much-wanted lifer for all!

Additional species

  • Common Cuckoo Cuculus canorus
