More capercaillie Counting in Highland Perthshire


Out again this morning, this time in an area outwith the TWCP area, but still in Highland Perthshire. This full-length chestnut paling is being used as a more visible deer-proof fence, without the wires, which can so easily kill capercaillie. It is almost impossible to get over this though without impaling yourself, it not being as strong as a normal fence.
This was at about 5.30 am, the rain came on shortly afterwards, and I had to leave at 7am, being thoroughly soaked through. No capercaillie here today, not really expecting any, but signs that they had been here in the past few months.
