Grey partridge in yellow & green, red added

Spring provides grey partridge colorful surroundings.

Now she sits tight, red Giulla frozen nearby

A pheasant-cock on its way for food in the sun

Yes over there now

They are stunning, those pheasantcocks in Spring

On my right side is where he hides, Clancy shows

Lets wait till he hides

Because old Echlin wants to show he loves to do this show - thanks for your attention!

No luck in Belgium, but still good to see the dogs at work. Glen flushed - but it was a pheasant and that would not count anyway. Not many partridge found and I think no dogs (or maybe one) were placed.

Thanks for the report Susan. Springtrials where only partridge counts will probably become even more difficult in some cultures, due to their decline. Training as well. But when it works a festivity for the eyes, in my eyes.
