Countryside regular!!
Red-legged Partridge.
We see many of these in my area of Cheshire - but only because it is shooting territory and they are released every year :confused: However quite a few seem to survive - together with the pheasant although they do wander in the middle of the coutry lanes regardless of traffic!!

Nice portrait shot Kim. The fact that the head is slightly turned away is of no real consequence to the effect.

Nice shot KIm, would prefer a little more space for it to look into, but the plumage is fab - bags of texture, colour and detail :smile:
