Our resident pheasant cock, of whom I have written in the past, has gradually lost all his four or five wives over the past three months, and has been solitary for the last one.
So, I was very pleased to see him with a hen and a single chick yesterday and today. I assume while the hens are nesting, they can't forage far for food, and so couldn't visit the garden. I wonder if any more will reappear with families?
The chicks are just so endearing - miniature versions of their mothers, and they run so fast, they look like little wind-up toys. Aaaah.
Sorry about the crummy photo - they move very fast and it was a dark day, so the longish exposure wasn't ideal.

Pheasants are fun to watch aren't they? We don't get them in the garden here, but there are lots living in the wood down the road.
