Congratulations to Thomas McDonnell from County Antrim, Northern Ireland with this image.

Tom tells us a bit about the image:

The Photo of the Red Grouse was taken in the North Antrim Hills near the town of Ballycastle.

A friend of mine told me he had seen grouse in the area so I decided to use my free time to look for the grouse. Over a period of a few months of looking I eventually came across two males and a female. The males were calling at one another and flying across the road where I was parked, I watched them for an hour or so taking photos from the car, I decided to get out off the car as I was restricted in my movements, the birds seem to not care of my presence so I stood beside the car as one of the birds came right at me to go across the road to investigate the other bird, luckily I was able to to get the shot as it flew across the road

Equipment
Gear was Canon R3 with Canon Rf 400 2.8 LIS lens
