Three beautiful creatures. Great photos as usual, Diane.
ReplyDeleteHi Marie thanks for the comment, I do love our garden birds but I would love to be able to get out to see more. Stay safe and have a good weekend Diane
DeleteLittle birds are so cute and the yellow one is so colourful. Have a wonderful rest of your week Diane. xx
ReplyDeleteThere are two yellow ones there but I am presuming you mean the Blue Tit which I love. Keep safe and enjoy the weekend Diane
DeleteWhat beauties! Great shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam I hope all is well, take care and stay safe Diane. Diane
DeleteIf only you knew how rare our UK Grey Partridge are now. You are lucky indeed and I hope your local sportsmen do not shoot the rest of your "french partridge". The problem is, i am told, they are good to eat! And, I quite like pictures of tits, Page three or otherwise.
ReplyDeletePhil it appears to be rare here as well so I an very honoured to have seen one in the garden. It was extremely lucky as the only reason I was in the garden so late when it appeared was because I was clearing up after the chimney sweep had been and he had to clear out one of our gutter down pipes that had broken and fix it. It was obviously meant to be. Have a good weekend Diane
DeleteMy favourites once again, how cute and joyful they look! Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalia, they always seem to be happy I must say :-) Keep safe Diane
DeleteHi Diane - excellent photos ... wonderful ones of the partridge. Take care - and enjoy the garden and autumn colours as they cure towards winter. All the best - Hilary
ReplyDeleteIt was very lucky I got to see the partridge, I am delighted that I did as they are rare here and in the UK it seems. Have a great weekend and stay safe, Diane
DeleteThat Grey Partridge is nice and plump.
ReplyDeleteThat is not a good sign in the shooting season, I hope it is good at hiding. Take care, cheers Diane
DeleteA Grey Partridge in our garden would be a miracle, Diane - even a sighting in Leicestershire would be notable! Bast wishes to you both in these now increasingly difficult times - - - Richard
ReplyDeleteRichard I gather they are pretty rare here as well. Someone in the Dordogne said that have not seen one in years. I was just so lucky to be in the garden late evening to see it, only because the chimney sweep had arrived late! It was obviously meant to be.
DeleteTake care and please stay safe, life is getting more complicated by the day! Best wishes to you both Diane
Well, I never had partridge in my garden - all the rest, but not partridge! Nice.
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
Haha, it seems they are rarer than hens teeth in both France and the UK so we were more than lucky to have it visit. Keep safe Diane
