A Grouse called Gordon


Male Red Grouse ( Lagopus lagopus scotica ) Cairngorms, Scotland.

Taken this week in the Cairngorms, Scotland. We took a trip over the moors on the off chance we would come across some Red Grouse. As you can see we found one who wasn't quiet as shy as we expected. He was in fact a very chatty Grouse who we nicknamed Gordon . Armed with a 400mm lens I had a few problems taking pictures of him as he kept coming far to close to the car.  He also posed for our new Flickr friends : Carole, Janet, David and Paul AKA foxylady29, norfolk Jen, Davvid Buggin & Foxley65 -  glad you found him too.
