It's been a steady old month of birding. The weather has been shocking, and it is largely a consequence of the horrendous weather that I have found myself giving the Hill a wide berth. Today, however, despite the gales and the passing rainstorms, I headed up and was rewarded with probably the best views I've ever had of the local Grey Partridges. They were feeding near the Taylor Lane turnoff from Perseverance Road, on my walk, and were still present on my return, so decided to drive back up, and using the car as a hide I was able to approach the birds nice and close. Presumably, the same family group that has been around since the summer, indicating another successful breeding season at this site.
