Black Grouse
(Tetrao tetrix)
Black Grouse are pictured above in a courtship and mating ritual in Hamra National Park in Sweden. This large game bird in the grouse family is found across northern Eurasia in moorlands and bogs, close to woodlands. The striking white tails of Black Grouse have been popular adornments for hats worn with traditional 'highland dress'. The feathers are currently carried on in the dress glengarries of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, in Britain
