Pheasants on site


There has often been a pheasant on site over the years but I have never seen one staying around. This year however a pair seem to be living on site and I am surprised how unafraid they are. I am used to pheasants panicking and running when you get near in a car or on foot. Yesterday the pair remained more or less where they were browsing when I wheeled a wheelbarrow within a few feet and then even more surprisingly when the tractor was harrowing the field within a few feet. I guess it must be their territory and maybe they will breed on site.
