Given its declining status in the wild, especially in Scotland, there is something disquieting about this pair of stuffed Capercaillies currently to be viewed on the premises of Tennants auctioneers in Leyburn, North Yorkshire ahead of a sale on August 5. The pre-sale estimate is that the hammer will fall at somewhere between £600 and £800. Sad to see but there are many more stuffed birds in the sale including (see below) Hoopoe (guide price: £250-£50), Roller (£120-£180), Bewick's Swan (£350-£400) and Gyr Falcon (£600-£800).
