- A group of Grey Partridge is a; Bevy / Brace / Covey.
- Grey or Hungarian Partridge are also called a Hun or Huns.
- A Hun is one of the best upland game birds to hunt. They are fast runners, quick take off, fast flyers, acrobatic and small, very difficult to shoot. They are very tasty, I remember as a teenager my brother and I would bag enough for our family of 8.
- There numbers over the years have been greatly reduced by the increase of predators, birds and fox.
- You still see them on grain fields a Bevy of 6 to 12. They like winter wheat fields. I love unmistakeable grey coloration.
This year I am challenging my grand kids and their friends to a "Big Year". During 2013 we will be observing, identifying, and recording all our sightings of birds.
