I only live 5 mins away from the heather moors of the South Pennines and, as it snowed yesterday, I thought I would try to grab a few shots of some Red Grouse today. I always think they look awesome in the snow.

I finally was able to photograph my first red headed woodpecker while hiking up in the woods, love the sounds these beautiful birds make.
Photo taken on a hiking trail in New Jersey. The trail is located in Hartshorne Woods in Buttermilk Valley.
I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to view, fave or comment on my photo. It is very much appreciated
Red Hills Ranch is located near Kelly, Wyoming. The Grand Tetons are at my back and about 15 miles away. It is magnificent country. You need to go down a long rugged dirt road so you need an SUV but it is worth it to see this fabulous area near Jackson Hole. (Edited in Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz)
Red Kite - Milvus Milvus
Persecuted to near extinction in the UK, the Red Kite has made a tremendous comeback thanks to reintroduction programmes and legal protection. Seeing one of these magnificent birds soaring high in the sky is a true delight.
Once a very rare bird that could only be found in Central Wales, the Red Kite has been successfully reintroduced to several areas of the UK and can now be seen in Wales, Yorkshire, the East Midlands and the Chilterns. A large, graceful bird of prey, it soars over woods and open areas, its distinctive shape and 'mewing' calls making it easy to identify. Red Kites were routinely persecuted as hunters of game and domestic animals, but they are in fact scavengers, eating carrion and scraps, and taking only small prey like rabbits.
Red kites were common in Shakespearean London, where they fed on scraps in the streets and collected rags or stole hung-out washing for nest-building materials. Shakespeare even referred to this habit in 'The Winter's Tale' when he wrote: 'When the kite builds, look to lesser linen'. The nest of a red kite is an untidy affair, often built on top of an old Crow's nest. It is lined with sheep's wool and decorated with all kinds of objects like paper, plastic and cloth.
Thank to all who take the time to view, Comment or Fav, It is Always Appreciated.
Red-headed Woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus) is an incredibly striking bird: adults have brilliant crimson head, black back, large white wing patches, and white belly. These large patches of solid color are unlike other woodpeckers with more intricate patterns. Immatures have brownish heads.

I just came across this wee picture I took of red berries a few months ago and I thought this would be the perfect time to upload it to flicker as it is sort of Christmassy though should have uploaded it last week...lol. I hope it is sharp enough for flickr. I'm at that stage now were I need to go over older pictures as I haven't been out recently taking any new ones...lol. Christmas took up all my time and then I go and get a bad cold which ruined everything. Anyway hope somebody at least likes this one....Thank you
