excusable if you were to think such a figure had either escaped from a zoo or had been placed in such a position to capture j the imagination, of some bird­ watcher. All however would be wrong for this was my first encounter with a blackcock.


doubt on this matter that there has been a very nice pack of black grouse in our neighbour­ hood for some thirty years and whilst it would be foolish to give an authoritative estimate I am sure the birds are holding their own. All of which will be encouraging news if you have the good fortune to see one or more of these truly magnificent creatures then you will like myself consider them a wonder­ ful amenity in our district and also wish them continued success. Before going into more


nest not knowing it to be in such a place. I focussed the camera set the shutter and took a shot. Would it be a success? At that time I was just a beginner and as this find was exceptional the only way to make sure was to take another. I must not fail as such an event may not occur in years of searching.


to make doubly sure I again pressed the release. All to make certain I got my fascinating subject. You may not be of this kind but I know of many other photographers, if they will be honest, will admit to the same weakness. I frankly admit I have done the same on many occasions when for instance photographing the golden eagle or red necked phalarope.


So I took one more, then moving to one side another and


of those who are afraid they may never have a similar opportunity.


And so it goes on in the ranks


recent events which certainly gave some assuranoe let me go


back to a period several years ago. it was at a time when colour photography was by no

I had a roll of colour sight of that impressive game j film of 20 exposures in the bird will continue to rekindle a feeling of excitement from time to time. It is as you will no doubt agree not a common occurrence but then if you are really interested and have the patience and persistence the chances are you will have sight of these impressive residents at one time or another.


NEW EXPERIENCE All -this was quite a new


means as common as it is today. At that time I had an early

came across the nest of a grey­ hen which I should hasten to

After some little search I. came across the nest with the grouse sitting close on her clutch. There was no need to take any precaution. She was sitting very tight ahd

DIFFICULT TASK Later in the day I returned


recent experience which as I have said gives some assur­ ance regarding the present status of the blackcock.


And so to return to a very


land by the edge of a wood when on turning the bend we were delighted to see five grey­ hens take off some little way ahead. Such a sight set us eager to have a. glimpse of the male blackcock but luck on this occasion was not in our favour. My only wish now is that on some future occasion I shall be able to photograph the male. Not an impossible, task at a certain season. That , indeed would be a red-letter day. Par­ ticularly so when we consider it' is all possible within easy reach of Clitheroe.
