Acknowledgements

I would like to thank Tom Robertson for his help and advice over the years, he has had a lot of success himself in breeding and releasing Capercaillie back into the wild.

I would also like to thank Jimmy Bain, a great naturalist, bird keeper and although he is no longer with us his passion for Black Grouse will be remembered.

I would also like to thank Paul North, a friend who took photos of our birds, some of which we used in this website (thankyou).
