Red Grouse

Had a great couple of hours on the moors yesterday to conclude a workshop I had been running.

Rival red grouse calling, chasing and flying around us.

Here's one of the males gliding by, to see off the competition.

A female, close enough for a great view of the intricate feather pattern detail to be enjoyed.

Red Grouse.

I think the call from these iconic birds is one of the most distinctive of all UK birds, and carries far across the moors on a still day.

This male was pottering round with his partner, feeding on heather, but as there was a possible rival nearby, he'd call every so often.

The moors were covered with a thick frost, and while it was very cold, it was fantastic to be there.
