I am pleased to find this thread as I was about to start one in similar vein.
On monday morning, while a certain person was getting ready to go home I chanced to look out the window.. I called 'Come here now Henry' and the poor soul shot out of his bedroom thinking there was an emergency!!!! I dont normally speak to him like that.. just wanted a fast reaction
Well, there was of sorts  .. within 10 ft of my sitting room window there was a pair of Redlegged Partridge. They stayed for a further half hour gradually working their way back to the field.. so they may have taken the same time to work their way in. It was a wonderful sight. I do have pics but need to to upload them ... Cant do it just now.
Dont know if Henry has recovered from the shock yet hehe

Must be something about mondays here. This monday it was Henry's turn to say come here now... outside the window not six feet away was a beautiful green woodpecker. As I brought up the camera the devil flew away... but it was wonderful to see.
Wonder what we will see next monday
