Roof top surprise!!

From time to time you get those moments when you think you are hearing things. This is just what happened this morning, as I was still clearing the chores out for the day, I could swear I could hear the call of a Partridge. Now being in an urban conurbation ! and with no farmland around for quite a bit, I at first put it down to a fly over, which in itself was unusual for this area.

So I continued, and it was not long before I could once again hear that same call! So this time I checked the lawn around the feeders.

You could have blown me over with a feather, as there under the feeder in my little garden were 7, yes, 7 Red legged Partridge. I was galvanised into action and rushed for the camera, it was this sudden movement I think that may have startled them, as when I got back they had gone, but not very far as they were soon calling from the roof of my neighbours house.

This time however the camera was on hand and records of probably my most unusual garden bird!

A little jostling for a warmer spot perhaps?

And they were of as several others flew over heading NW towards the Wappenshall area.

So last one for a while!!! again.

Thanks for looking.
