The Pretty Partridge

Spring seems to be at last waking things up and I am continuing with my printmaking experiments for our Gidding Wood project and focusing on wildlife that makes “music” of one sort or another.
However  I don’t think the partridge’s rusty clucking is very much like music.. except to other partridges of course. You can hear it on the RSPB site here.

So this is one of my planned bird portraits. I chose the Red Legged Partridge because it is so pretty :). I saw one, a few years ago now, at Heligan. It was nesting in a hedge by the office.
So far I have a few notes and quick sketches and have cut one block. It’s small, about 4.5 inches square.

More progress this week I hope.
