J Darcy 5,871 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Would have loved to see them big birds lecking, my friend once shot a huge male on a driven day, i have seen it, built like a big turkey!! Your'e lucky to have been so close. My experiences with them all happened over a three year period in Speyside... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My experiences with them all happened over a three year period in Speyside... Same area J/D but now the woods are all schedule 1 birds nesting there,a lot of ongoing work is being done to try and help the Caper such as removing deer fences and the ongoing vermin control. There's also being a downturn in Bilberry (spelling) as apart from pine needles is a big part of their diet,atb NID. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
