Many thanks, ERIK, for upload of Your marvellous 2008 and '09 Ruff photos displaying the World's most polymorph species - in springtime. Above, Your left Ruff's ruff is as expressive as JORN or POLLOCK paintings. Your photo 4th May 2008 demonstrates, roughly speaking, that a Ruff may substitute a Reeve... _________________________ Formerly Ruffs were so common that they were caught on the arenas in horse hair snares. They were also shot for collections of colourful ruffs. NOW arenas are extremely rare in DK, on the verge of extinction like those of Danish Black Grouse (Urfugl). _______________________ To Ruff Fans: If You did not enjoy the CHEVALIER Combattant (French name) in April-May, seize the opportunity late June when the Gentlemen - still in war paint - migrate south from Northern arenas. [ e.g. at Favrholm, Hillerød ]. Best rgds. ........... C.
