Camouflaged

  1. Superb, especially with the flash of light up top. I like that the photographer is invisible here--as though the camera alone were there with the bird!

  2. They are just such daft birds grouse. They never fly if they can walk!

  3. I was gonna ask...LOL Now I know!

    Must be essential for daft birdies to blend in well. ;-)

  4. Mel, specifically - Red Grouse. Fire Byrd, I'd never seen one before and every time I got the camera out it ducked down behind a bit of heather, must be camera shy ;-)

  5. Normally the only glint of glass they'll see is just before their friend beside them vanishes in a spray of blood and feathers, so it's no wonder they're shy...

    You did well to shoot one - bloodlessly - without a beater chasing them into view.

    I much prefer our way of hunting wildlife, with cameras.
