Excerpt from The British Bird Book: A Complete Work on the Birds, Nests and Eggs of Great Britain
Having regard to the great importance attached to the plumage phases of the red-grouse, the following condensed summary has been compiled from notes gener ously furnished by my colleague, Mr. W. R. Ogilvielgrant. Briefly he recognises in the male three types a red, a black, and a white-spotted. (1) The red type. General coloration of a rufous chestnut, wherein white marks on the breast are conspicuous by their absence. Birds so coloured are obtained from the western counties of Scotland, England, and Wales, the Hebrides, and the low grounds of Ireland.
