First record of Black Grouse since mid April 2013 to my knowledge. If anybody knows of any records in the intervening period would they pleaseleave a comment or let me know. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some more useful comments than this but I talked to a birder at the 2 bar site who had seen the male Black Grouse on a previous visit to see the 2 bars. Very imprecise but later than April 2013.
