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.
Very pretty and colorful bird, David. She has beautiful eyebrow wattles!
