It wasn't quite a partridge in a pear tree but a lucky buzzard that was rescued by Nottinghamshire Police officers after the bird of prey dropped on to the road in front of them.
Superintendent Kevin Broadhead was out on a driving assessment with force driver trainer Glenn Longden as they were heading away from the village of Eakring towards Caunton.
Mr Longden said: "Only a couple of hundred metres along the road and without warning a buzzard dropped in front of us and attempted to take off again, unfortunately without success.

Researchers have found the new and more infectious variant of Covid-19 has already spread around the UK, with cases identified in south Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The Covid-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) consortium sampled cases around the UK and found the variant in the South West, Midlands and North of England – areas that are under Tier 2 and 3 restrictions.
London and parts of South East England were put under tougher Tier 4 restrictions last Sunday due to concerns over the new strain which scientists believe is spreading more quickly than the previous form.
