Tour Scotland short 4K wildlife nature camera travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Black Grouse game birds on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to Moorland, in the Scottish Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Not to be confused with the capercaillie, which is 30% larger. The female is slightly smaller than the male. Black grouse need a complex mosaic of different habitats. They’re often found on the fringes of upland heather moors and native woodland, but they also favour young, open, conifer forests. Adults graze on the shoots and buds of larch, birch and heather as well as the berries of hawthorn, rowan and blaeberry. Young chicks feed on insects. With its postbox red eyebrows and blue black feathers, the male black grouse is one of nature’s eye catchers. At traditional display sites or leks, the flamboyant males strut, posture and fight in front of the females, their lyre-shaped tails raised in a fan of snow white feathers. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
