This male Red Grouse (Lagopus lagopus) landed close to me yesterday and didn't seem to realise I was there for a minute or two. These birds are bred on large areas of heather covered moorland for game shooting. Given that when someone points something at them they are normally about to be blasted with birdshot it appeared remarkably unconcerned when I raised the camera to my eye. The males have these strikingly prominent eyebrow wattles.


Great shot David

Hello Gregory

I am pleased that you liked this shot. They don't normally sit like that as you approach them. I would still rather have been doing Burrowing Owls on Marco Island!!
