edrick owl - a real twit
Hi all
Just something which is bugging me and which I would like clearing up.
Monday we went to Castle Howard - North Yorks, and on the way back down the long drive to the exit, I am sure I saw a Black Grouse, on the grass verge, in the open, calling (?) away as we passed in the car.
Was I correct? Do these birds live so far south; I always thought they were a high altitude - wild moorland bird, so could they be seen in what is basically open farmland?
I have never seen one of these before, but I do think that they are pretty unmistakeable birds.
Any help or comments would be welcomed, as ever.
