Little Frenchmen - 'Mon Dieu'- Ooo la la'!

Dear John (no pun intended!) I'm sure I'm not the one to answer your question on feral R.L.Partridges but as I've indicated on this blog previously during the last 5 years or so I have seen a single partridge in the valley near my home in Aberhosan Machynlleth and a pair at Darowen near Machynlleth so I guess you can all make your own assumptions! Its an attractive bird though (yes I do still have a passion for attractive birds!) and makes a change from the over population of pheasants and I suspect partridges have better road sense!
