Hi Everyone

Sorry i've not had much chance to hang around this year, will try and rectify that next year :D

This shot was taken earlier this year when we where lucky enough to find around 10 Black Grouse and a couple of Grey Hens with them...and in snow too Can't do much about the grasses - that's their choosen habitat as they dig down and pull up the plant roots/bulbs under them. This is warmed up a fair bit too!

Hope you all have a great Christmas time.
Nick

An excellent habitat image, Nick!
The catchlight in its eye brought this to live ...
Hope to see you more here in the coming year and have a Merry Christmas! :lol:
