Years of hard wear from finest gaberdine


Living on or above the 1,000 feet contour, and donning a thick new plumage for the winter which includes white feathers on legs and feet— avian “spats”—It is one of Bowland’s “stay-at-homes.”


This bird is very local In its outlook. It has not been known to travel long dis­ tances, contenting itself with the odd mile or two of flight to the next moor when startled from its haunts.


This is a thoroughly British bird, found nowhere else In the world, and the high moors of Yorkshire, Lanca shire and Derbyshire are the real southern limit of its range, though odd birds are found on Dartmoor and Ex


moor.


Heather, the common ling, is the staple food of the fast­ flying “moorcock”, but it also dines heartily on berries and seeds, using quartz grit to help it digest this tough food. A cock grouse makes the scales dip at between 22 and 24 ounces, with hens ranging in weight from 18 to 21 ounces.


SPLENDID PROTECTION


Grouse pair early—sometimes before the end of December —and eggs are laid from May, taking 24 days to hatch out. Then the young grouse soon leave the nest and, splendidly protected by the tones of their juvenile dress, they move about in the miniature jungle of heather stalks.


The birds normally feed twice a day, night and morning, with well-developed flight lines, and they spend the winter on the “tops” unless t h e s e are so thickly blanketed by snow that the food supplies are inaccess­ ible. Then they lolhfully fly to lower altitudes.


No-one has been successful in rearing a grouse artificially, though many have tried. Grouse have a wild spirit which seems to be crushed by captivity. Their theme song might be: “Don’t fence me in.”


One gamekeeper who reared some grouse by hand found they were so tame that they perched on the window ledges of his cottage waiting to be fed, and following him about the moor!

The grouse population is kept up by careful moor manage­ ment. Old heather is burnt off—or "swiddened”—to en­ courage the growth of fresh shoots. Keepers kill off any crows in the vicinity, for crows are crafty enemies of game-birds. A pair of crows will quarter a moor, working together, and one has even been known to push a hen grouse off her nest to get at the eggs!


Foxes are a nuisance, eating eggs plus the adult birds, if it can get hold of them.

Grouse are very shy. At nesting time the hen sits so close she Is not easily per­ suaded to leave the nest, even if the moor is being swept by Are. When a few shots have been fired in August, a man would find it very difficult to get within 200 to 300 yards of the birds, unless they were flying straight at the butts, with the beaters close behind.


They typify the heathery up­ lands of Bowland. They provide good sport for the men who, this month, take the moorland paths.

Now they are making good growth but they could do with a little extra nourishment so I shall top-dress the rows with fertilizer.
