The Grouse
It was a crisp, cold morning on the Yorkshire moor.
I spied a pair of grouse scratching amongst
the heather ahead of me...
The Grouse Wine Coasters
The Small Grouse Pair
In trying to get a better view of the birds,
I startled them, and they immediately
crouched low to the ground.
The Large Grouse Pair
The Grouse Swizzlestick
The cock-bird, sensing someone watching, stretched his neck up as high as possible to get
a better view over the heather. The hen-bird, still uneasy,
remained low to the ground.
I have mimicked that scene faithfully in paying homage to
these magnificent birds. 
The Grouse Jeroboam Wine Coasters
