Spotted
A small, shy grouse species found in dense forests across northern Eurasia. It is known for its cryptic plumage, which allows it to blend seamlessly into its wooded habitat.
Where to spot
Dense coniferous, mixed, and deciduous forests with dense undergrowth across northern Eurasia, from Europe to eastern Asia.
How to spot
Look for them on the forest floor, often near dense vegetation. Listen for their distinctive high-pitched, thin whistle, which is often the best way to detect this well-camouflaged bird.
When to spot
Year-round. Best observed during the breeding season (spring) when males are most vocal, particularly in early mornings or late evenings.

Unlike many grouse species, the Hazel Grouse does not form leks (communal display grounds) for mating; instead, males establish and defend individual territories.
