Hi, This morning Sharon and Denys Gardiner found 6 Gray Partridge along Elliott Road just west of King Street N in Scotland. They were in a field on the south side of the road (roughly here: 43.0432190, -80.3369120).
Mike Hallett just talked to a local from the area who told him they are wild birds and have been here for years. This is roughly 12km south from the Brantford Airport, which was the stronghold location of this species for Brant County up until 2013.
