Red Grouse on heather
Hi.

New to the site and thought I'd post my first photo. This one of the Red Grouse in the heather was taken on the glorious 12th on the Yorkshire Moors. Thanks for looking.

Nikon D3 500mm F4

Look forward to hearing your comments.

Very nice first post Steve, a little more head turn would have been nice and maybe a touch more contrast, welcome to UKNP.

Hi Steve,

Very nice shot, as mentioned a tiny bit more head turn would have topped it off. Welcome to the forum!

Cheers,

Lewis.
