Hi John

Through the breeding season there have been at least five pairs of grey partridge present at Gib. I have regularly seen them - always in pairs during the period and I have mulled over whether they have nested at all - I have not seen or heard of any young reported here this year.

I assume the awful june weather was the cause of failed breeding success
the brood of 7 was 10 last week , seen few young pheasants or
red leg partridge either.
regards John.

another pair of grey partridge with 5 well grown young north of Northcotes airfield,
c 700 golden plover on recently harvested and cultivated pea field nearby.
regards John.

Have seen around 6 pairs or Grey Partridges with young - but most pairs without any. Few Pheasants with young and have seen no Red-legged Partridge chicks at all !!
