Stand out

This was a first for me today. A white pheasant. Buddy wasn’t mad keen on it if I’m honest. It’s that time of year where the pheasants and partridges are out in force. And primed for clandestine flapping attacks. I’ve tried explaining to Buddy that they are flapping cause of him. Not sure he gets that.

Considering how much this one stood out against the sugar beet, it was actually hard to take a photo. So I’m pretty pleased with the way it came out.

And Buddy was pretty pleased that this pheasant headed off in the opposite direction.

Snooper

As I was on the phone today, I watched this little chap wander across the garden. He stopped a few times snooping around. Very brave of him. Having said that, Dodo was asleep in the conservatory with me. And Hugo was galavanting.

Little things like this make me happy I live in the countryside.

Stealth mode

It’s that time of the year when the pheasant and partridges enter stealth mode!!

Today’s hack resulted in a few interesting moves as Buddy was taken by surprised by their ninja moves from the long grass and undergrowth.

I can’t help laughing at his slight over-reaction to their flapping and squarking.

Feisty

We have a new resident at the yard. Meet Feisty the Pheasant. He decided to join us today for our ride.

Buddy wasn’t bothered in the least.

If only he was the same when we meet them out on the tracks. 😝
