In winter female ptarmigan & Scandinavian female willow grouse look very similar (to me anyway, in all the books I've got) & grouse are a bit bigger than ptarmigan. Neither should be anywhere near Strines, so get photographing, Ian! A quick Google didn't turn up any references to white grouse in the Peak. I suppose any bird species can have albinos, but you'd expect to see only one if it was an albino.Originally Posted by IanDarkpeak
