Sightings of Black Grouse have become more common on Alladale as the local population is thriving thanks to the considerable woodland regeneration efforts over the last decade. As Black Grouse become increasingly re-established again, some birds will be forced to look for new "leking" sites. A lek site is where males gather to "display" and compete for breeding rights to the females that come and judge them. Only certain sites are suitable if the birds are to successfully mate. As the environment has been changed through human interference, we have chosen a potentially suitable site that will meet the needs of this species and assist the capercaillie programme in the local area. The lek is a spectacle that is well worth an early start on a beautiful spring morning.
