Back at the Grouse - still leggless

I sat and watched this particular Scottish individual slowly make his way up the tussock... but alas he seen me and didn't get quite to the top.:frown: Feet are easier on peak rocks:wink:
Note the darker plumage of the Scottish bird.

500mm/BB

Lovely setting Tom - lack of feet not a problem for me.

Very much darker than our Yorkshire variety, great contrast with the frost, like it loads.

Very nice Tom, like the composition, with a great bg, much much darker than our southern invisible variety :biggrin:

Bottom right foreground is just a little intrusive for me but other than that this is a fine portrait. I'm very much loving the frosty feeling here too.
