….suddenly a noisy scurrying from the edge
and a group of partridge ran and settled in the middle of the field
two pheasant felt far enough away on the fence and stared
a robin sang his song in the tree until he was ready to fly off…

I see you in the biting early morning in the field by a wood , shivering at seeing those birds quietly searching their food, in peace.
Love ❤

Yes that’s about it. I could hear the birds twittering on the edge of the field where they were pecking around for food under cover. Suddenly they were aware of me and ran into the field and continued what they were doing a little further away quite happily! Peace prevailed and I was able to take the photos, but it was cold so I was soon home! Love Gill ❤

Thank you Jet . I disturbed them and was as surprised as they were. Luckily they didn’t disappear out of sight to soon and didn’t seem to mind me in the end! A dangerous game they play…. as they are already named on the menu in local inns and hotels! xxx

That first one and the one with pheasants could be large posters….or part of a calendar. Have you entered any competitions? i.e. the Country File (BBC 1 TV) annual. Hope you enjoy a lovely day….Janet. xxx
