    Capercaillie photography is rather difficult and mainly possible in Northern countries. I photographed this bird in Bulgaria where a tame but aggressive bird was approaching photographers without any worries. It was great experience!
    Unfortunately, other than photographers, other "people" who were appreciating nature in their own way, decided to "save" the bird for themselves and put the head of the bird on their wall. Thus the bird is not alive anymore... Such a pity!     Posted 3 years ago

      Ugh, that is a harsh story to read. Bittersweet, the only upside is that you managed to do it much justice with this beautiful photo. Posted 3 years ago
