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.   Click here to comment on this image.

Nice to see them in the garden, we only see them on the moors here.

Sadly we only get them in the garden occasionally during prolonged very cold weather….which we don’t seem to get down here now (not complaining). The other lovely coloured bird I like is the Cirl Bunting. Maybe a caravan trip to Devon is called for.

Excellent photo Iain. Was that local to you? We used to have a flock in the woods at Sandringham back in the 1980’s before I photographed birds ( just watched them). They would congregate in the pines at the Sandringham House carpark! Presumable it was because the cars created potholes that retained water….as they were often seen drinking. The crazy thing was that the public gathered in their thousands to see the Royals go to the church every Christmas. I’ve seen people picnicking in their cars with flocks (20-30 birds) dropping cone detritus down on the cars …and they never noticed. Sadly they have long gone…..not the visitors though
