Partridge in my Garden
This bird is a Partridge and normally runs wild in the countryside. I have lived at this house for ten years and this is the first time a Partridge has got into my garden being totally enclosed. I came home and looked out the kitchen window to see a head bobbing about in the undergrown, I grabbed my camera quickly which I keep with me at all times and went out the backdoor keeping low as not to frighten the bird. I took this picture with the bird blowing up his plumage I can only think he was trying to frighten me away by making himself look bigger.
