Red Grouse














































































This morning I headed up north to the Red Grouse site, and with Spring
just around the corner the male grouse were hard at it, sparring and jousting
with each other, with lots of calling and displaying. It made for a quite pleasant
morning.

On a rather sad note, my superb Common Snipe site has been turned into a
bloody disaster area, with a huge excavator sat right in the middle of the river.
I'm not too sure what's going on, but if the work isn't over in the next couple
of weeks there will be no Common Snipe, Common Sand or Oystercatchers!!

Until next time, thanks for looking.
