Red Grouse
Black Grouse
A fabulous day out in North Yorkshire in the Dales National Park. We had blue sky but bitterly cold strong wind that made our eyes water. There was the remains of winter's snow still on the tops. Our day was mainly to see black grouse and we did not fail with 7 around the Shaw Farm area. Red grouse were everywhere. It was a sorry sight though as that was all we saw on the grouse moors. There was not one other single bird to be seen. Not a raptor, crow or magpie. Nothing. Mile after mile totally devoid of birdlife. Plenty of shooting butts though. What a sad world we live in.
