Black Grouse

First time I've caught one of these guys well enough to show here.

Don't know why they are called 'black', as they appear to be blue/brown & white!

Lovely to see it, bet you were pleased

Seen lots of them in this location but they are very flighty. I tend to just see one or two of them and as soon as I move, there's suddenly about a dozen give flight. Had some shots before but they were backlit in strong sunshine so quickly binned.
