Lagopus lagopus

I took a spin up around the hills at the back of me in search of Hen Harrier as they should be returning as it`s getting close to the breeding season. So as I walked up through the bog I heard a clucking of a bird I haven`t seeing or heard much of these days, The Red Grouse!. These birds have become quite rear near me due to over hunting. So when 2 of them rose up in front of me I got quite a shock. They can just disappear into the long grass and never be seen again. Along with that I had 1 Male Hen Harrier as well but only got distant views of it but great to see all the same. So I`ll post some grouse shots I got.
