Hi All,

Whilst out watching Buzzards on Friday this Partridge appeared on a ploughed up cover strip, could'nt resist rattling off a couple of frames.

All comments welcome

Hi Rob

Very nice with a pleasing low shooting angle and good head turn!

Nice photo, the pixelation in the back ground is odd, is this a crop?

Lovely shot Rob - nice head turn. It's a pity the ground isn't more 'photogenic', but it's still a fine shot.

We've had a Red Legged Partridge lodging with us for a couple of months now - he spends every night on our bathroom windowsill! Once a week I have to get up the ladder to clear away his cr*p from the ledge!
