Bloody immigrant coming over here putting our native partridges out of jobs.

I live 8 miles from London Bridge.

And we had one of them turn up in my garden in March.

It scratched about in the dirt then perched on the fence for a few minutes before flying off.

Where the hell that came from we can't work out.

Ive had a pair for the last 2 years trying to hatch a brood in my garden. Not very successfully I’m afraid...ground nesters in an environment full of predators.

[Jason Skilton]

we have a few around ours......but then I do have a river, meadow and woodland less than 200m away.

Normally see two or three on New Years Eve
Very nice birds
