Another red grouse feeling the cold in the Scottish Borders. He sat on the wall and puffed himself up to keep warm

Wonderful details in the feathers and the exposure looks perfect.

Love the red of the bird in contrast with the snow. Very striking image!

That is one cold looking Grouse! I really like the setting and head turn. My instant reaction was to crop a little from the RHS but on reflection, I like it as is.
