Think of Red Grouse and you will probably conjure up a stunning image of  luxuriant thick, purple heather carpets, accompanied by the low - pitch backing sound track of their distinctive gutteral chuckles and clucking. Or perhaps the little chap who appears in those Xmas TV commercials for its famous namesake whisky. However this quintessentially British game bird is also achieving an unwitting celebrity status for being caught in the crossfire of an increasingly heated conservational crisis...The fortunes of Red Grouse are inextricably linked  with the upland heather moorlands which they depend upon for food and cover. Britain is the home to 75% of the worlds heather that makes it rarer than rainforests. Since the mid 1800s they have been specifically managed  to produce Grouse for sport, a substantial source of income for  country estates. Now both birds and their environment are under threat and debates rage about what to do about it. This excellent and quite large figurine is an absolute picture, well sculpted and exquisitely hand painted in beautiful hues of browns, black and grey, standing on a rocky outcrop.In  very good condition, clean and tidy, no damage or repairs.I always have a good selection of wildlife on Ebay, alongside a general collection Tractors, farm animals etc. please view them and thanks.
