Nothing to Grouse About

Never had quite as bold a Grouse as this blocking our path. We spent almost 15 minutes, most of that within 3 or 4 yards of him, on a walk around Hopes Reservoir today. During that time he treated us to views of his fabulously fluffy feet, and an array of calls. 

Of course this is on a managed estate, so there's every chance this chap won't make it till 10th December, when the grouse shooting season ends.
