red grouse

Red Grouse photographed at sunrise on the North Yorkshire Moors.

taken on Christmas Day 2020 early morning,the golden hour,

Taken yesterday on Burns Moor above Bentham UK

It was shooting season out on the moors so heads where well down

On the moors above Wolsingham sat on the wall and posed for me.

.... or You called? .... or Emerging from the mist Oh I did struggle with the crop on this picture. I really should have gone in much closer to show his surprised-looking wattles more clearly, but then I wouldn't have shown the distant hills and trees in the mist. Still not sure I've done it...

Red Grouse in the Antrim Hills today.

Its been a poor year for the young Grouse due to the weather, with not many survived the cold wet summer that we have had, but on a good note, the Estate on the glen have decided not to do any shoots this year, just hope they stop it all together.

Thanks everyone for all your comments over the past week or so, have a great weekend.! Andy.

Went up to Teesdale at the weekend winter was still hanging on!

Not sure there are many better places to be on a sunny winter's morning, than watching red grouse on the moors.
