A neighbour's apple trees proved tempting to the local partridge population.

Nice shots, but isn't he supposed to be in a pear tree?

LOL, I was waiting for that comment! And didn't have to wait long

lovely Christmas card, regardless of the fruit involved. Would love to see a partridge....

Thanks Nancy. Christmas cards have already been ordered unfortunately.

Apple tree? IT'S DOING IT WRONG!!! ahahaha
Seriously though, interesting shots! I really like the colors... red apples, yellow leaves. I like #5 with the crest feathers up.

Thanks JR

Beautiful shots! I suspect though, that this partridge is actually a ruffed grouse. (It would be, as it's in an apple tree. Ancient wisdom dictates that partridges are only found in pear trees. )

Thanks Vivien. I always thought partridge was just another name for ruffed grouse....

Nice ruffed'ssss. Bet the apples are hard to swallow. Good shooting. Rex

Thank you Rex! They just pick away at the apples, and bit by bit they disappear
