There's a pheasant in my garden. Just saying.

ooh! Male or female? We spotted a woodcock in ours last week; it must have been very lost as we live near the city centre.

Male and very strutty. They really do walk about like the birds in those adverts for Famous Grouse. I've often seen one in the field, just not right in the garden.

I love the way they strut their stuff!
Enjoy looking at him/her

I think that that is the one creature that has not appeared in our garden. The only large bird who has visited us is a buzzard, and he was enormous. I didn't dare let Poppy out for fear that it might have carried her away.

Buzzards are *huge*, aren't they? I've seen them overhead but not in the garden.

[gghost.livejournal.com]

Yes, they are extremely large.

In our last house we had a red legged partridge in the garden. I like seeing new birds stopping by.

Wow, that is unusual.
