If it’s not one thing, it’s another.
As we wrestle with the brambles on the bank a persistent drumming sound fills the air. It seems to be coming from the bird table. The industrial strength mesh on the peanut feeder has been holding up well, so far, in spite of the squirrels’ best efforts. This time at least, I can’t hold them to account.
But just what are we going to do about ..
..him?
pin it?
Lol…I would suggest enjoy his company, he’s a handsome chap !

He is, and becoming quite tame. But he can go through corn at an alarming rate! The ‘drumming’ that we heard yesterday was his beak against the plastic tray.
Who wouldn’t want a pheasant at the bird table?!!!
Mike. He’s had Delia out.. !
Well, it is a bird table and he is a bird. 😉 Lol! I don’t much about pheasants, if they are disturbing and so. But he definitely is beautiful with all his colours. 🙂
Hi Alexandra!
They are always about in the woods. Sometimes I see them on my walks through the trees, and often hear them calling to each other. The smaller birds don’t get much of a look in when he’s this close!
Love your blog, and your own walks with Lisen. Jx
I love these birds because they are thick as pigsh*t
gawd love em
why do people with guns think that they are so superior when they blast them from the sky!?
Don’t get me going on people with guns.. hopefully the birds will learn that they are safe with me.
The cheek of it. We once had one come right up to the house and peer at us through the french doors.
Oh golly. Who got more of a surprise? They do seem to be very inquisitive birds. Our new chum has been in and out of the greenhouse, and stood on the bottom step of Mike’s workshop looking in. As well as continually up on the bird table, just in case we have replenished the bird seed..
Squirrels dealt with who’d have thought what your next visitor might be! He is a handsome chap though. I looked out of the window this morning and saw perched on our bird feeder a jay! Never seen one of those up in the city before and never in our garden:)
Oh wow. No, I haven’t seen a jay down here either. They are rarely seen (according to the RSPB) because they prefer plenty of cover. Lucky you!
