The Great Red-legged Partridge Race

I went for a walk over the fields to clear my head a bit..........I strolled along the brook to see if I could spot the elusive kingfisher that hangs out there........no luck unfortunately but I did see these Red-legged Partridge who were very keen to show me their sprinting prowess when they saw me there with the camera........they showed me a clean pair of heels in a fabulous turn of speed and they looked hilarious........I wish I had taken a video to share with you.......it gave me a much needed chuckle ;-))
