Red Grouse (Lagopus lagopus scoticus). Today, the Glorious 12th starts the shooting season of red grouse. I think it should be more suitably called the Inglorious 12th. A time when moorland owners charge £1000s to the privileged and wealthy who find enjoyment in blasting as many as possible to death. Few get eaten, many rot before they get to the game dealers.It is a beautiful bird, truly wild, a joy to come across when walking the heather, such a shame that some delight to kill gratuitously.
