To bushy coverts and underwood among tall timber

To bushy coverts and underwood among tall timber



The partridge, in England, varies in few of its habits from our quail I might almost say in none unless that it prefers turnip fields, potatoe fields, long clover, standing beans, and the like, to bushy coverts and underwood among tall timber, and that it never takes to the tree. Like our quail, it must be hunted for and found in the open, and marked into, and followed up in, its covert, whatever that may be.
