Nice! I love watching these birds, easy to watch when hunting across open moorland etc. just don't seem to see them that regularly these days!

Wonderful wonderful bird, and great pics.

I think we all have a good idea why we see fewer and fewer of them, and it has absolutely nothing to do with grouse moors...
