These attractive French Partridge feathers are mounted on a real wood veneer . I have split the veneer and mounted it on a dense black backing enabling a vertical striping to be produced which picks up well with the feather colours. The French or red-legged partridge as it is more commonly known, is not a native bird in the British Isles. Its origins are in the semi arid regions of the Mediterranean but since the 17th century, when it was introduced into southern Britain, it has established itself as a major sporting bird.
