And a partridge on the shed roof

Looked out the window and saw this Red Legged Partridge sitting on top of one of the sheds ... I was really surprised to see it up there as I've only ever seen them skulking about at the edges of the parks before ... so I grabbed the camera and snapped a few pics.

It's not a very crisp shot as it was taken through my none too clean window ( he whistles innocently ) using a 300mm lens on a 2x teleconvertor, braced against the window frame ...

... anyway, the appearance of this little guy was a welcome bonus today :-)
