Black Grouse

I know it's a crappy photo, I was too far, but I just have to share this moment with you.
I'm so happy I witnessed this Black grouse courtship game called lekking this morning at 7.13 am on my way to work.
I had to stop the car and admire this strange spring dance they did. There were 5-6 males, I was lucky to get 4 of them in the same blip. I've been following this black grouse group the whole spring winter, at first I noticed them sleeping in the snow. After the snow has melted, they have stayed in the same field, where they are quite easy to spot. Now they're finally lekking.

Tomorrow morning I'm gonna try my luck again...

Location Ohkola, Finland.
