Is it surprising?

Before the storm last night the weather at the seaside coastal meadow was a little milder and the large antler-bearers come to drink sea water when possible – food is bland and in addition to the salt there are minerals too. This is why the antlers of the animals close to the sea are always a little larger and more impressive than those of the mainland inhabitants at the same age.

Grouse; Black grouse     Teder       Tetrao tetrix

If you notice large splendid birds in winter on birches at forest verges then you have met grouses. If however  similar but a little larger birds are busy in pine stands then instead capercaillies.
