Another from my walk yesterday. It was hard in the strong easterly to get decent shots, the grouse where keeping their heads down and i wouldnt see them till they exploded from my feet. This is one disturbed by a walker which landed near me while i was having a drink of water.

D2X 500mm f4.5+TC and ISO200 1/160s

Rather tight at the top, but easily fixed, an excellent close up. Nice one.

Nice crisp detail Paul. Whereabouts in the world are these from?

Thanks Paul, just wondered if it was in my local area (Yorks Dales).
