Following on from finding Red Legged Partridges in the garden, today we had a visit from a pair of Grey Partridges. Only managed to get one on a photo.
Looking forward to the end of May. I can get my lawn cut.
I can't remember the last time I saw a grey partridge, nice visitors and photo Ed.

A small Tortoiseshell butterfly feasting on a flower. It looks rather tatty and shows signs of an encounter with a spider web.

Small Tortoiseshell are one of the hibernating species and can look vey tatty when they finally emerge.
