Red-l Partridge!!!! 1 calling from an area south of the south round head, presumably within th PS perimeter fence. Counting this for the BTO Business challenge is on a par with Eagle Owl listing, but we'll have a try at getting away with it! Presumably the bird seen in suburban Heysham a few days ago.
