Male Red Grouse,close up.
Thanks for the comments on the curlew.This is another bird breeding in the Lammermuirs.I was parked up when a family of them stumbled down the hillside through the heather.The chicks were virtually under the car before mum realised this wasn't the place to be and ushered them away.Dad's job was to distract me before they all disappeared back into the heather again.
Canon 1D Mk11N,600+1.4 lens,1/500 f5.6,iso400.Cropped to about 70% of original.
