This is a Black Grouse, rather difficult to find, even though we do have quite a few of them, this was taken a few years ago, I am hoping to film them in the coming Spring

Wow, what a stunning bird they are, Burnie…..when you see them on the tele, you never get to see that wonderful sheen they have.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Black Grouse leks are not un common round here, but most involve a climb half way up a mountain, luckily I have found a possible location I can drive close to and a short-ish walk.
