Beating the odds
I took this photo of my mate a couple of days ago at sunrise on some of my local grouse moors in the Peak District. He's less skittish than many other grouse and he was in his usual territory so I'm very sure it was him. He was a bit unsure of me at first but after a while he actually flew and landed just a few feet away as if to say 'Hi' - either that or he was telling me to get lost out of his patch!
Anyway, after four months of the shooting season, which ends next week (10th) it was good to see that he's still around as apparently, some 500,000 Red Grouse are shot each season.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
