Snakey lane

Snakey lane provided the first Partridges of the year in the form of 6 Red-legs (P.70, H.31) this morning...here's four of them...

Further down the lane I noticed a rather large shape perched in a bush some 80yds from the road. It then dropped from the bush to the ground...

This bird has been hanging around the area for quite a while now. It spends a lot of time on the ground while hunting it's prey...

Always nice to see...

Had an hour down at Kilnsea Wetlands/Beacon Ponds with the lad. Nothing unusual and bitter cold but he enjoyed the walk...not sure I did though!
