I had to look it up as I don't know the difference between the two

apparently, a grouse has a short tail and tends to live on open heather moorland - pheasants have a long tail and tend to live in woodland areas.

George would know cos` he`s a pheasant plucker.
Quite a lot of pheasants to be seen on the old Cheshire lines area at Altcar. One ran into the back wheel of my cycle one day so I put it into my pannier took it home and gave it to my brother who got 2 meals for him and his wife, then made a good pan of soup with the remains.

Well thats me slapped on the wrists then

I have no idea of Birds, though I knew it was something like grouse/pheasant, and someone told me it looked like Grouse, so I took their word for it. I caught sight of this along the river (Birket?) in Leasowe on the footpath from across the road at Moreton Station, as it leads towards the Lighthouse. I thought it unusual and actually a pleasant surprise, as I certainly didnt expect to see one of these there. I think he was surprised too, a very wary creature indeed.

Saw a lot of Ladybirds too, strangely...

I would never grouse if anyone called one of them a pheasant.
