Peak District Retreat Blog
A blog to share some items of interest about the Retreat and its environment - wildlife or other nature notes and images, or maybe something else. Our barn owl nest box has three cameras so barn owls will certainly feature in our blog, but so will other birds and other wildlife.
We do not commit to regular updates, rather we intend to post items of particular interest when they arise. We do have quite a back catalogue of past images which we may post to ‘back-fill’ the blog, while generally keeping the entries in chronological order.
Red-legged partridge
I've seen these around the land occasionally. But this is the first time I've got a photo of a red-legged partridge. I saw it pecking around our farmyard, but it did a runner as soon as it saw me with a camera.
