Description: | The Red Grouse was once believed to be Britain's only endemic bird - a species found nowhere else in the world. However, it is now generally thought to be a sub-species of the Willow Grouse, a bird found across much of Europe. The Red Grouse is found on heathland and moorland, mainly in Scotland but also in smaller numbers in Northern England, Ireland and North Wales. It's a popular game bird and large numbers are bred for shooting every year. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | animals North East natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
