French partridges

I just love these birds. The colours are stunning and these two are real characters when they stroll into the garden. Here they are just underneath one of the bird feeders and enjoying the late afternoon snack.

They come in from the field behind the house and very cautiously come down to the house. We have quite a large area of lawn and they are amusing as they look each way before making a dash across it and back up to the hawthorn hedge.
