Shooting Grouse

Out on Derwent Edge the other evening, which is well known for its grouse shooting in the past. Managed to shoot some without injury. In fact I was tripping over the blighters. Fuji Xt1 55-200mm.

 

Tripped over a few Famous Grouses me'self.......good camo, can't spot the ghillie suit.

 

It was quite funny, met a chap toting a 500mm canon on the way down, fully kitted up in camo, he hadn't got a frame. When I told him I was tripping over them he seemed a little narked

 

Two fine captures, Nick. I especially like the first one.

 

Murphy's Law.

All the clobber, still a nobber.

Talking of Canon zooms...

Have a look at http://www.mpbphotographic.co.uk.
Just the job for the slackers in the Mortar Platoon.

 

Excellent Nick I can imagine you had a great time up there.

 

Well done Nick. That first one almost looks staged. Excellent.

 

Love that first shot Nick. Gorgeous.

 

Holy smoke, those are great and the first one is the winner, but just slightly. Stumbling eh?

 

Jeez you'd need a gun bearer for that bad boy

 

Stumbled indeed mate

 

Hi Glenn, staged ? ....bum you Sussed me, the looks I got carrying that stuffed Grouse up hill was priceless

 

The first is just great.

 

Very nice, Nick, the first especially.
