Description: | The Capercaillie is the largest member of the grouse family, and can be looked on as the European equivalent of the American Turkey. Capercaillies are rare in Britain, being found only in the Caledonian pine forest of Scotland. The species died out in the 1700s and the ones we have today were brought in from abroad. This bird was shot at Garbh, Braemar, Scotland and was given to the Hancock Museum by R.U. Brown in 1959. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | animals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
