Pheasants

Well the pheasant near my house finally has a girlfriend! He has been waking us up for the past few weeks and on fine sunny days likes to sit on a mound of soil near my house watching the world go by and calling 'ken ken' every few minutes.

Yesterday afternoon I looked outside of my bedroom window and found him with his new partner, eating grass seeds or something in the field. Sorry I couldn't get better pictures, but I couldn't open the window or the fly screen.

He is particularly nervous these days and yesterday though he couldn't see me, he was aware something was watching him because he kept looking around and fluffing up his feathers.

They are not there today because it is too windy.
