Western capercaillie / Глухарь / Tetrao urogallus

This male was very aggresive. The only way to get this film done is having a wingmand (bodyguard) and the only one brave (hmm.. stupied?) enough was Marcus Thuresson who distract the bird outside the camera (except for the first scene) with a glove or even a bag so the capercalize could focus on him instead of me. When you sat down without a wingman it took a few seconds then the bird was all over you.
