Beautiful Red-legged Partridges!

Beautiful mysterious birds

I saw many of these birds today but I had never seen that kind before.

At first I thought they would be Red Grouse, but these are the wrong colour. I also thought they might be Ptarmigan, but they are usually only found in the mountains, and seem to be whiter than these ones.

After a deal of searching on the RSPB site I reckon that they are Red-legged Partridges. I've definitely never seen them before.

If you can confirm, or contradict, my identification I'd be glad to hear from you.
