[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A tiny Red-legged Partridge chick (Alectoris rufa) in the evening sunshine. This was one of ten chicks with their mother. My wife and I struck lucky with them yesterday. We had just pulled our car off the road ready to take a walk, and the whole family were in view pecking around for food. We stayed in the car and I was able to take plenty of shots through the open window. There is a picture of the mother and family here

Here is a link to a page on the RSPB website where you can learn more about this bird.

Kind Regards

Hi Vinny. What good luck to see this little one . such a cute looking thing. You have taken a fine shot from your car. good detail and natural colours. Good use of the light making for a bright eye. well done TFS.

Hello Vinny,
Natural colours,excellent details.That is a mad perspective, which correctly manufactures the feeling of depth.
Greetings.
