Stayed near Newcastle last night to enable a cross-country drive across the grouse moors of County Durham on the way home from Scotland, and before hitting the M6 for the long drive home. The mist had other ideas, however, and while I could hear Red Grouse all around I actually had to get out of the car and walk 20 yards on to the moor to flush one to see it! Eventually it thinned out to allow some good views of Grouse and Golden Plover from the car.
