Posing on a pine branch of a backyard.
We took hundreds of photos about this in the front of our nose posing Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus also known as the Wood Grouse or more specifically Western Capercaillie )
It is not very common to see that big bird many days so near, they are birds of coniferous forests.
This tree is Scots Pine, the most common coniferous tree in our forests.
Thank you very much for your visits and comments !

How nice of the grouse to sit and pose for you. i love the red, curling bark of the tree. It makes lovely pictures.
