Feathered

We have a pair of red-legged partridges who live near work. Here they are taking a stroll. Usually I see them scurrying along the edge of the car park.

They look like they are having a very learned discussion.

They really do! Splendid creatures.

They are very splendid.

Om nom - oh, I'm sorry. *is inappropriate*

I expect with enough birdseed I could entice them into hopping into a roasting tray.

I don't think I've ever seen a partridge IRL. We have grey wagtails (actually quite yellow) at work - the river is quite high so I hope any nests haven't been flooded.

East Anglia is full of game birds - pheasants are ubiquitous, but with a few country walks, you can see partridge, quail etc. easily enough.

We saw grey wagtails the other weekend along the Macclesfield Canal: they really are lovely, aren't they?

Partridges are less obvious, but there seem to be quite a few around - oddly we spotted a pair on a bungalow roof in Stapleford a couple of months back! I love the faces on red-legged partridges - so pretty.

Are there many pear trees around Cambridge? ;) I can't help but avoid pheasants!
