We think we have solved the puzzle of why a partridge would have been hanging around our garden for the past few weeks.
Last night Tux caught this little chap and proudly bought it into the back garden. We managed to get him to drop it and, believing it was injured, we placed it in the flower border for nature to take its course.
This evening, when Wayne was watering the garden, the little bird promptly hopped out and sat in the middle of the lawn.
Given that temperatures have been in the high 20s today and assuming it wouldn't survive long on it's own, I telephoned the local vets who are known to help with wildlife cases, for advice. They agreed to take the baby bird so I popped him into a box and took him to them. They said he would be transferred to a wildlife rescue centre to hopefully be released back into the wild when he was old enough to do so.
