New Nature Writing - Four Talks for Spring

Wednesday 11 April 2007 23:00-23:15 (Radio 3)

Kathleen Jamie watches a black grouse lek in Scotland. The strange sex dance of the males in front of watching females takes place on a heather moor at dawn in early spring. The first curlews are calling and a magnificent peaceable assembly of 400 stags have gathered in the secluded glen, their antlers shining in the spring sunshine.

Duration:

15 minutes
