Abstract

Two years ago, whilst walking across a fallow field here, I heard a fluttering of wings, and received a violent blow on the back of the neck from a partridge: before I could recover myself she struck the back of my head and knocked my hat off. Although I had a heavy stick, I could not drive off the bird, who made a loud noise, and now attacked me in front. As I walked rapidly off, the bird followed and struck at me many times, attacking my head and shoulders with the greatest determination and violence.
