One of my local 'Moorcocks' as they are known in North Yorkshire. Winter must be a difficult time for Grouse given the weather they face but they really are a fantastic sight when the snow is on the ground :smile:

1D3 560mm ISO:200 1/160 sec @ f/8 +0.3

Beautiful bird and nice image although on my screen, the bird's head looks a tad soft to me ? :smile:

a lovely shot, although the head does look a tad soft.

A fine upstanding male in the snow. Could go a little darker I think for more punch. Cheers, Mark

Very nice Simon, like the feathery legs on show and the setting. Nits covered :smile:
