Partridge

Managed to get incredibly close to a red-legged partridge today. Thought it might be nesting so didn't want to disturb it, but it got up and walked a short distance then lay down again. Must have just liked it's photo being taken. I even managed to swap lenses and get up close and personal with my M 50mm 1.7. This was from about 12".
