Tetrao tetrix

The Black Grouse, scientifically known as Tetrao tetrix, graces Croatia's forests and moorlands with its majestic presence and distinctive mating displays.

With its glossy black plumage and lyre-shaped tail feathers, the male Black Grouse is a striking sight during the breeding season, performing elaborate courtship rituals to attract females. Its presence in Croatia's diverse landscapes underscores the importance of preserving habitats such as boreal forests and upland moors, which provide essential breeding and foraging grounds for this iconic bird.

Celebrating the Black Grouse inspires us to advocate for the conservation of these habitats and the protection of species that depend on them for survival.
