    There were quite a few in the fields alongside The Ridgeway walk from Streatley towards the A34, surprisingly unruffled by walkers' presence as well.

    Yes, I love them as well, they seem to have their own special character.

    Super photo, Rolf!

    We had one visit us now and again in Ayr.

    Apparently they're becoming a bit of a pest in SW Scotland - something to do with overtaking the Red Grouse in population, and causing there to be fewer of the 'other bird' for shooting parties... (No comment!)
