Took a quick 45 min drive up to the Dales/Moors to see what the Grouse were up to. They were hunkering down in the heather, but there did seem to be a lot of Lapwing about, this one was pulling up worms. Be nice to have had a cleaner backdrop, but this is the environment/habitat they live in here, heather, on this particular location.
Light was variable, going from sunny to overcast, but the wind was bitter, around 4 degrees as the whole area is almost flat with vistas of around 20-30 miles on this day.
Thanks to those who posted or viewed the previous posting.
