[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 6299024, member: 4505"] There are (or used to be) pockets of 'hill partridges' in the Highlands. These usually occurred where cattle were outwintered and fed on unthreshed oat straw and where turnips were grown for sheep. From my home in Glenlivet, I could look out of the window and see the stacks of oats black with Black Game and Red Grouse, also grey partridges. These all disappeared when a new shed was put up and the cattle were brought in over winter and the oats were cut with a combine. If you want butterflies, you need a few weeds! [/QUOTE]
