An Austrian mountain bike rider sustained a serious injury in the Hinterriß - a courtship capercaillie had attacked him.

Hinterriß

- It wasn't a bear or a wolf that caused a stir in neighboring Tyrol on Saturday, but an unleashed capercaillie.

An Austrian mountain biker had to experience the hard way that these feathered animals are not to be trifled with – and certainly not during the mating season.

At around 10:15 a.m. he set off on his two-wheeler from Scharnitz via the Vereiner Alm in the direction of Hinterriss.

Then suddenly a wood grouse sat on the path.

The biker dismounted and slowly pushed the bike past the bird.
