Same drive different birds

I decided to take the drive again this time going from the Southport end of Plex Moss heading back towards home.

There was still around 20-30 Curlew in the same field as last night, only too far away to get any pics this time, I did manage to snap the Oyster Catcher below, there was two of them together digging in the mud.

Then to my surprise I managed to photograph a pair of Red Legged Partridge, this is the first time they haven't flown off when I open the car window, as much as I love watching them fly off which is quite comical I was happy they stayed still for a while.

I have been wanting to photograph these birds for a while.
