Willow Ptarmigan - Prosessed pictures part 2

Got some more prosessed Willow Ptarmigan pictures.  When I took the pictures, the wind was right, and I patiently apporached one step at time. Staying low moving slow. Started about 150 m away and ended about 5 m away. The "spring colors" the male Grouse gets is starting to appear, but I believe it´s about 3-4 weeks until the neck is brown. Still more pictures to come. Please enjoy!
