New exhibition showing the lives of rare capercaillie birds

Their population here has dwindled from 20,000 to just over 500

The capercaillie lek is one of nature’s wonders and for the first time, the endangered birds can be seen up close and personal on Balmoral Estate.

A new, virtual attraction allows visitors to see their elusive mating ritual where males square up to one another to prove they are worthy of a mate.
