Snow still thick on the ground; I watched a covey of eight red-legged partridges in the orchard at the end of our garden. They are a striking looking bird and watching them through binoculars I wished we saw them more often.
The moorhen is back in the garden, this year on its own – another striking looking bird. We are delighted every winter to see it for a few months wandering all over the garden. This year it is pecking at any long stray tufts of grass poking through the snow. It also eats the food put out for the birds.
