Тетерев на рассвете.

In this evocative image captured by photographer Kalinin Mihail, a capercaillie is beautifully silhouetted against the warm glow of dawn. The bird’s dark form contrasts sharply with the soft golden light filtering through the misty forest, highlighting its robust build and distinctive plumage. Snow blankets the ground, suggesting the harshness of winter in the Russian taiga. This powerful scene captures not only the beauty of wildlife but also the serene yet challenging environment these birds inhabit during the early hours of morning.
