Red Grouse Hunting

The red grouse (Lagopus lagopus scotica) is a bird native to the moorlands of the UK, especially Scotland and northern England. It features reddish-brown plumage that camouflages it in heather, its primary food source. Known for their “drumming” calls during breeding, red grouse nest on the ground. While their population can fluctuate, they are important for game management and conservation efforts focus on maintaining their habitats.
