Also called Hungarian Partridge....a tough bird to find and once found they can be pretty skittish...a species best viewed and photographed from a car or blind. These were taken a couple of days ago....

Great job, Gary. I don't believe I have ever seen them posted here previously, nor have I ever seen one myself in the, er...., feather.

The 1st image blew me away w/exceptional quality and detail Gary.....and then there were 2!
I'm familiar w/the name, but have never seen them before today. I certainly think the 1st image is a "wall hanger", but so is the 2nd! #'s 3 & 4 just complete a wonderful set of "patidges on ice". :)

Terrific shots, Gary, and new-to-me too, along with most others by the sound of it! They look like they got enough food over the winter ;)
