Richard requested the female so here she is! The pale twiggy bits are the dead incompletely burnt twigs of heather. The heather is routinely burned to promote new growth to provide ideal habitat for the grouse.....so they can be shot in great numbers.... with guns as opposed to cameras. I suppose if they were not then it would be more difficult to photograph them so I am not too sure if I should be resentful or grateful!!
