This is a bird which I have been wanting to photograph for a while. I was out photographing waders, when, on returning to where I was parked, I saw four Grey Partridges near to the vehicle. I couldn't believe my luck, as they are usually so difficult to get close to. I got myself into position and managed to get close to them, by hiding in some shrubs, and slowly crawling towards where they were feeding. They obviously never saw me, and I managed quite a few shots before they ran off into the undergrowth.
