Today was Jans birthday. As we sat having breakfast, and I prepared to do the RSPB 1hour birdwatch, we were surprised with an infrequent visitor ....a Goldcrest. It didn't stay long and anyway I had a mouthful of porridge to contend with but when we went into the lounge we were stunned to see a first for our garden...Redlegged Partridge....or two of them to be precise. They wandered around the garden for the full hour of the birdwatch and even ventured onto our patio pots. They stayed all day and weren't put off by my getting the car in and out....just running a short distance for cover....then reemerging.
A lovely birthday gift. the only annoying point was the RSPB survey didn't allow Redlegged partridge to be added to my tally.

Footnote....they were actually running wild in a field....I added my garden for better effect using AI
Only joking
But are you! Nice to see them in the garden, we only see them on the moors here.
