When me and my dog turning back at home, after 5 minutes at the place which was just empty hill, I saw 8 Grey partridges (Perdix perdix)! I believe I know this family for at least since last July, and I guess the birds intend to stay at night there. They were quite close to the road, but several walkers not see them even from 5-10 meters! It was frosty evening and birds tried to not move: it help them to save energy as well made their camouflage very useful.
