Red Grouse (Lagopus lagopus scotius) are seen on Jervaulx Moor, North Yorkshire, as the 2018 grouse hunting season got underway.   The season ('Glorious Twelfth') traditionally begins on August 12th, but was a day later this year because shooting on a Sunday is prohibited...God forbid!  Too bad every day of the week isn't a Sunday.
