Discovering Black Grouse & Eurasian Pygmy Owl | French Alps 🌎 🇫🇷 | Wild Travel | Robert E Fuller

The spectacle of black grouse performing their unusual courtship dance, known as lekking, against the snow white slopes of the French Alps, is topped only by finally tracking down a Eurasian Pygmy Owl - Europe's smallest owl and barely bigger than a coffee mug.

*ABOUT THIS FILM*
____________________

Animals of the Alps

I have just returned from a trip to the Chamonix Valley, a spectacular region in the French Alps where I trekked through forests and over snow-covered slopes to uncover the regions more unusual wildlife.

Guided tour

To guarantee a sighting and to stay safe in these wild mountains I took a guided tour with Daniel Rodrigues of Chamonix Guides https://www.chamonix-guides.com/fr

Black grouse

A black grouse lek is one of the most spectacular mating dances and increasingly rare to see. I travelled to the Alps for the chance to film it and was rewarded with spectacular views of grouse fanning out their tails and side-stepping against the bright white of snow.

Eurasian pygmy owl

Europe's smallest owl, this species is so elusive I trekked through acres of forest to find it. But when I did I was lucky enough to be able to record the sound of the pygmy owl's call.
