Here's one of last years shots:

And one from Today:

One would have thought that in a year your photography might have just come on a little?

My comment was meant as a joke by the way

I saw three r-l partridges yesterday

I had a freezing day out at Alton waters and the partridges were my bird of the day, they scurried off across a ploughed field when they saw I had spotted them.
Had a picnic in one of the hides and saw a g-s woodpecker and two brown rats under a feeder.
The most prolific bird was were the chaffinches just like my garden this winter.

Bird of the day so far today has got to be bramblings again. They are hanging around in my local wood - which is just on the other side of the road to my house - assumedly on their way north and topping up on whatever beech mast there is still around. Such lovely little birds with a delightful call.
