Well, it was good to see there are still some of these game birds lurking and feeding in the heather and haven't all ended up, 'in the pot', although they do taste good. :S3:
It was also great to see and watch for around an hour, a pair of Rough legged Buzzards flying around the area to, swept down from Scandinavia.
Thanks to those who posted and looked at the previous image.
