Sometimes we hear an owl or two howl while you crawl into your sleeping bag. The black grouse arrives at dawn - then the show begins around the tent area. The guide takes you to the shed and sets up camouflage. You spend the night and morning with the black grouse. The guide will be back around 9 am to pick you up.
