Tweet Take 5 : Capercaillie
An extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring the cork popping sounds of capercaillie featuring Kate Humble, actor Samuel West and sound recordist Gary Moore.
In Britain you would need to travel to the farthest areas of Scotland to witness the bizarre mesmerising sounds of the capercaillie. This largest member of the grouse family, whose name means horse of the forest, are found at traditional leks during springtime. Males strut and display to each other in the hope of pairing with a female. However you will have to get up early to witness these displays as you will hear in this extended version of Tweet of the Day, featuring wildlife presenter Kate Humble, actor Samuel West and sound recordist Gary Moore.
Produced by Andrew Dawes for 大象传媒 Audio in Bristol
