As I don’t have a photo of a partridge in a pear tree or a partridge anywhere, I’ve chosen one of several other creatures for you. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen a partridge, never mind photographed one, have you?

The owl catches my fancy. These are all lovely, Gilly, but he looks so shy… 😀
He was lovely but I think more aloof than shy!
He’s turned away from the camera (I know, photographer’s choice) so I like to think he’s camera shy… 😛
I’ll select the owl. He looks as if he belongs on the top of the tree with his white,sequined feathers.
They are such stunning creatures!
Beautiful, but especially in love with the owl 🙂
Ack! That fish is terrifying! 🙂
No honestly it just tried my toes and realised they weren’t tasty!
they are beautiful!
have a photo of a little monkey in my contribution photos for this week
Selamat datang!
You can speak indonesian?
I’m afraid not 🙂
I, too, love the owl. But they’re all lovely photos, Gilly.

You’re very kind thank you. Have a lovely Christmas!
I like the bull and the carp best. That carp looking at your toe with his mouth open is hilarious — and maybe a little dangerous.
Hahaha noo its nibble is just like a tickle!
Fabulous collection of photos for this theme.
what a great collection of creatures Gilly…..loving the owl and the cow 🙂
Ahh thanks Seonaid 🙂
Love the owl and the cow too, Gilly! Have a great holiday to you and your family!
Thanks Mary Ann, Happy Christmas and a fab 2014 to you too!
The lighting is superb in all of these, Gilly! I love them all but the one of the cat – well, purrfect.
Thanks Lynne it was a special cat that I would have loved to take home!
Wonderful pictures Gilly! My favorite is the lone sheep. 🙂
Thank you very much, Merry Christmas!
Thank you, its friends weren’t far away!
I’ll go for the cute little robin. 🙂 Lovely pics for the challenge, Gilly.
Thank you, Happy Christmas to you and yours Sylvia 🙂
Great set of ‘ones’ 🙂
