Out and about last night on the local patch checking on the wildlife and a couple of potential landscapes. Within 50 metres of the car I already had three Roe Deer, a Painted Lady butterfly and a Red Legged Partridge. Next up was a Kestrel and then a large and active badger sett, although a little too early for any movement. The walk back was less eventful, despite another five Roe Deer and another Kestrel sighting. Unfortunately no sign of the local Brown Hare population this time out.
Today it seems although the Partridge was spotted in what would be its normal habitat, it may well have been an escapee from over 100 birds stolen locally the previous night.
