Riseholme College 2nd September Flushed 3 juvenile partridge type birds this afternoon from a large wildflower plot at Riseholme. They flushed from about 6-8ft from me and dropped into overgrown vegetation about 10 ft away. They were clearly juvenile type gamebirds but I'm wondering just what they could be at this time of year. Do Grey Partridge breed as late as this or could they even have been Quail. Any thoughts on whether partridge breed this late? I know Quail do. Ian Birch |

Ian, Regarding Grey Partridge BWP states repeat layings prolong season into August, even September in most areas. |
