Scottish Black Grouse - rare photograph

This marvelous photograph was taken at a Black Grouse mating area called a 'Lek', where males gather annually, to fight for the attention of the local females.

The winner is the most handsome, fittest and the best presented! A pristine example of the breed!

I think this guy stands a good chance of siring next years offspring of Black Grouse. What do you think?
