Was up to Tomintoul today.
Saw a fat pheasant size bird, all black apart from white wing bar, plain head i.e no wattle. It was at side of road through moorland and flew off as soon as I stopped car. So no photo.
Can anyone suggest an ID or is the description too vague?
It may have only been a melanistic pheasant but I have seen quite a few of those but nothing like this one.
Thanks in advance
