Another from my favourite Scottish Glen..Captured early morning. I saw this one, whilst driving through the Glen. I parked up at the nearest passing place, then got low in the heather and as close as possible. From my stockpile of images, taken last year, as I knew I would be out of the game for a while after shoulder surgery.

The grouse man strikes again. Very nice portrait of this grouse. The background is great.

Lovely light accentuating the brid's colors.

Hi Will, another lovely one indeed. The light and golden BG is sweet. I do wish you had been a little bit higher in hopes there would be less blurred heather. Hope you are getting better.

Another beauty, William. Like the feather detail, and that super background.

I have loved each and every image you have posted of these handsome birds. This one is no exception. Beautiful image quality, color palette and a perfect background. Not crazy about the out of focus stuff on the lower left but the rest is so good I can live with it.

I like everything about this image except the out of focus foliage in Foreground.

Color Palette looks really good as well.
