The Grouse is a common bird in this district. She always lives in the bog. This bird does not migrate when the Winter comes. She builds her nest in the long heather. The nest is composed of heather and grass and lined with moss. She usually lays about five eggs. She is of a brown colour with a short brown bill. Her size is about the same as the blackbird. She is usuaslly found in the vicinity.- Collector
