The Black Grouse and painting the birds at the lek.
Unlike the filed work for paintings of Red Grouse which often involves a day on a grouse moor, the Black Grouse is a harder species to work with. Luckily i know of a couple of prime locations for Black Grouse leks in the spring. However, the general rule is an very early start on a frosty spring morning having set up a the a hide well dug into the ground some days in advance. Then you just have to wait in the cold for the drama to begin.
The Black Grouse is a sedentary species, breeding across northern Eurasia in moorland and bog areas near to woodland, mostly boreal. The Black Grouse is closely related to the Caucasian Black Grouse. These birds have a group display or lek in early spring. As with many Gamebirds, the male Black Grouse is larger than the female at 49–55 cm compared to her 40–45 cm length. The cock is very distinctive, with black plumage, apart from red wattles and a white wingbar, and a lyre-shaped tail, which appears forked in flight. His song is loud, bubbling and somewhat dove-like. The female is greyish-brown and has a cackling call. She takes all responsibility for nesting and caring for the chicks, as is typical with game birds. The male and female are sometimes referred to by their folk names, Blackcock and Greyhen respectively.
