Lek at me
THERE’S nothing quite so disconcerting as the sudden feel of a blackcock through the tent material.’ That should focus attention in the chamber of the House of Commons on one of our most endangered species, I think, as I press the tweet button. I am in a birdwatching hide and a 4lb Lyrurus tetrix Britannicus has just jumped 6ft in the air like a Zulu and landed on my tent.
In the rollcall of what fashionable Nature across the moor as they wheeled in the distance; a cock grouse go-backing as he held his territory.
