Taken very early in the morning when the Grouse were out feeding in the heather. This location is about a 45 min car journey, shorter than some I've done, but it's a gamble to what is there and the weather!!! Sadly some of their habitat recently has been hit by fires (nature & arson) that sweep the moorlands incredibly quickly, consuming vast acres of territory, killing both vertebrates, and chicks, parents can fly to avoid the devastation. This one was fortunate.
