The red grouse, Lagopus lagopus scotica, is a medium-sized bird of the grouse family which is found in heather moorland in Great Britain and Ireland. It is usually classified as a subspecies of the willow ptarmigan but is sometimes considered to be a separate species, Lagopus scotica. It is also known as the moorcock, moorfowl or moorbird.
The red grouse is differentiated from the willow ptarmigan and rock ptarmigan by its plumage being reddish brown, and not having a white winter plumage. The tail is black and the legs are white. There are white stripes on the underwing and red combs over the eye. Females are less reddish than the males and have less conspicuous combs. Young birds are duller and lack the red combs.
Birds in Ireland are sometimes thought to belong to a separate subspecies L. l. hibernica. They are slightly paler than those in Britain and the females have yellower plumage with more finely barred underparts. This may be an adaptation to camouflage them in moorland with higher grass and sedge content and less heather.
Grouse /ˈɡraʊs/ are a group of birds from the order Galliformes, in the family Phasianidae. Grouse are frequently assigned to the subfamily Tetraoninae (sometimes Tetraonidae), a classification supported by mitochondrial DNA sequence studies, and applied by the American Ornithologists' Union,ITIS, and others. Grouse inhabit temperate and subarctic regions of the northern hemisphere, from pine forests to moorland and mountainside, from 83° North (rock ptarmigan in northern Greenland) to 28° North (Attwater's prairie chicken in Texas).
Grouse are heavily built like other Galliformes such as chickens. They range in length from 31 to 95 cm (12 to 37 in), and in weight from 0.3 to 6.5 kg (0.66 to 14.33 lb). Males are bigger than females—twice as heavy in the western capercaillie, the biggest member of the family. Grouse have feathered nostrils. Their legs are feathered to the toes, and in winter the toes, too, have feathers or small scales on the sides, an adaptation for walking on snow and burrowing into it for shelter. Unlike other Galliformes, they have no spurs.
The willow ptarmigan (/ˈtɑːr mᵻ ɡən/) (Lagopus lagopus) is a bird in the grouse subfamily Tetraoninae of the pheasant family Phasianidae. It is also known as the willow grouse and in the British Isles, where it was previously believed to be a separate species, as the red grouse. It is a sedentary species, breeding in birch and other forests and moorlands in northern Europe, the tundra of Scandinavia, Siberia, Alaska and northern Canada, in particular in the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is the state bird of Alaska. In the summer the birds are largely brown, with dappled plumage, but in the winter they are white with some black feathers in their tails (British populations do not adopt a winter plumage). The species has remained little changed from the bird that roamed the tundra during the Pleistocene. Nesting takes place in the spring when clutches of four to ten eggs are laid in a scrape on the ground. The chicks are precocial and soon leave the nest and while they are young, both parents play a part in caring for them. The chicks eat insects and young plant growth while the adults are completely herbivorous, eating leaves, flowers, buds, seeds and berries during the summer and largely subsisting on the buds and twigs of willow and other dwarf shrubs and trees during the winter.

An accurate and honest film showcasing facts and faces from managed moorlands. Our moorlands mean everything to those who live and work there. Managed grouse moors are proven havens for wildlife and a vital source of income. Please watch, read and follow the facts.

A selection of exciting Go Pro clips featuring Driven Red Grouse Shooting on the Coverhead Estate during the 2013 shooting season. Lots of Grouse and plenty of misses! Footage includes Go Pro Gun Cam and Go Pro static camera shots. Red Grouse are completely wild but we put thousand of man-hours into managing our Estate to produce a sustainable harvest of birds. All are eaten and the environmental management benefits of our activities helps to sustain many threatened species of other birds such as Curlew, Lapwing, Merlin, Golden Plover, Ring Ouzel, Black Grouse and many more, whilst protecting the fragile blanket bog moorland habitat. We let Grouse days to teams and individuals and offer an 'Introduction to Grouse Shooting' course which includes an excellent lunch, instruction, a simu...
Filmed at Strines Moor, Derbyshire, UK, on 23rd February 2016 with a Nikon CoolPix P900. Red Grouse is the race of Willow Grouse which is resident in Britain and Ireland. For more information see the following link http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/species/factsheet/22679460
Grouse are classic birds of upland and wild habitats. Males are relatively easy to separate but females and distant birds can be much more difficult. Using plumage, habitat and habit clues we can tell them apart, however. Let this video help you confidently tell Red Grouse, Ptarmigan, Black Grouse and Capercaillie apart.

Help me, please help me, I'm a victim of disaster
My life has just been ripped apart in seconds only faster
I lost all hope I lost myself I lost my family too
So if there's a search and rescue will they find me soon
Burnin I'm burnin I just can't get out
Will someone please tell me what this is all about
I gave my time I gave my money, gave almost everything
So why do bad things happen to good people like me
Red cross will you save me (4x)
Dreamin I'm dreamin will someone wake me up
This nightmare can't be real and I ain't givin up
I need some help, I need some faith
I need the cold hard truth
So if I'm here tomorrow will I be covered too
Learnin' I'm learnin' just who is there for me
He came and died and bled forever I am free
He covered me, he saved me and washed away my sins
