The Golden Hour.
This image was taken about 40 mins after my previous post.It's a different red grouse and 5 mins later the sun dipped below the hillside.
Canon 1D Mk11N,600+1.4 canon lens,1/85 sec f5.6 and iso 400.

The "Golden Hour" indeed Phil, the light is very nice and the colours sublime, the plumage on these birds is very special.

Beautiful light and colors here, great pose of the bird,
perhaps a bit more contrast and saturation, just a personal taste :wavey:
