Channel 4 News | Scotland’s rare capercaillie shows recovery after years of decline by Alex Thomson
They are the nearest thing the UK has to a wild turkey. Spectacular, large – sometimes aggressive to humans during the breeding season – the capercaillie appeared to be heading for extinction.
Confined to the pine forests of the Scottish Highlands, the birds have been struggling to survive a series of threats from predators to climate change. But it seems there are signs of hope.

#JukeboxFridayNight is #GreatOutdoors - open spaces, nature, parks, tree-lined streets... Scottish highlands?
"Beautiful wasteland" - Capercaillie
You can take the girl out of the Highlands, but she'll always want to return to the bracken slopes by the ocean on a warm summer's day.
Title track from the group's 1997 album.

Still on a high after this the next day! I hope the folks going to see Capercaillie in concert in Aberdeen (tonight) or Edinburgh (tomorrow) also have a fab time. #Capercaillie #Music #Scotland #Aberdeen #Edinburgh #Gaelic

Wowed by Capercaillie in Perth tonight, celebrating 40 years as a band. Karen Matheson’s voice sublime as always. But I loved how their strengths as an instrumental Scottish folk group was also highlighted. I was most stunned by Charlie McKerron‘s epic fiddle playing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM1NU8dtUZI #Capercaillie #Music #Scotland #Perth #Gaelic

Delighted to manage some oh too rare accordion practice. Today trying new to me (at least to play) Calum's Road by Donald Shaw of Capercaillie (in video below). As well as practicing Speechless from Aladdin and Thank You For The Music from ABBA. #Music #Accordion #Squeezebox #Capercaillie

Last night I watched an amazing performance by Capercaillie at the Town Hall venue in Birmingham.
Yes, I had some tickets for the final date of their 40th Anniversary Tour.
Super performance for a bit over 2hrs.

This morning I kicked things off with “Plus Fort” by Julien Granel.
To close out this amazing and awesome Monday, let’s close things out with #KarenMatheson and #Capercaillie performing “#TheTree” live for a studio audience on #RadioGalega. Hands down one of my favorite songs of all time!
Now, if only I had the patience to learn Scots Gaelic!

Ended up at the page of a #Gaelic lady poet whose poem I already know well from a sung #Capercaillie version. So then have to dig that out in iTunes! This in the new collection of Scottish #Poetry 1730-1830. It includes a lot of Gaelic poems (Gaelic first then translated version after) and poems by women. #ScottishPoetry #ScottishLiterature #Gaelic #GaelicPoetry #GaelicSongs #Scotland #EighteenthCentury #18thCentury

New birdie drawing completed and listed. This one is No 7 Capercaillie. One for the Scots out there.
I'll do three more birds and then move on to something else.
