The Partridge Family

Grey Partridge can be a surprisingly difficult bird to see in large parts of Dorset, but my meeting venue this morning of the 'Cranborne Shoot Bothy' sounded like a safe bet. I kept the camera in the passenger seat just in case, and sure enough, a half-a-mile or so after leaving the meeting at the Bothy this pair were sitting at the field's edge. Red-legged Partridge were also seen but not as well on this occasion.
