Description
On the road in beautiful Spain with my girl, before the Funtastic Dracula Carnival 21 weekender, to party hard.
We made a stop at the impressive and beautiful Desierto de Abanilla (wow what a place!) before we went on to see the Route 66 sign in Campules, Murcia.
As we were driving, suddenly these Red-legged Partridges (Alectoris rufa) were crossing the road.
Full on the brakes ofcourse!
Went out the car to film, on this busy road.
Scared from all the traffic, they went up the hills, and I kinda lost track with my camera, cause I had to watch out for traffic too.
So the clip turned out really bad sadly, but still an awesome sight seeing these beautiful birds in the wild.

The red-legged partridge is a gamebird in the pheasant family Phasianidae of the order Galliformes, gallinaceous birds. It is sometimes known as French partridge, to distinguish it from the English or grey partridge. The genus name is from Ancient Greek alektoris a farmyard chicken, and rufa is Latin for red or rufous.
