A Pheasant pays a call!

The other day, a male Pheasant called in. First, he cleaned up lots of fallen seeds below the feeders.

Then he came right up to the lounge window and looked in through the spinning wheel spokes. It was SO funny as he thought I couldn't see him!:4-bounce:

He stomped all over my plants as he walked past the window :( (Check out those fighting spurs though!:eek:)

He looked in wonderful condition, the emerald green on his back shining out more clearly than you notice here. Before he left, he tried to raid the feeder at the pitstop - but couldn't quite make it!:D

Great shots there Catherine, they are funny birds, not the brightest tools in the box.:)

A very pleasant Pheasant :thumbsup:
Excellent Catherine. I have only ever seen one from a fast train :)

Thanks, folks!

He looked quite a character. I wonder if he'll visit us another day!:)

Let's hope the pheasant pluckers son doesn't turn up tomorrow :bananarock:
Certainly a fine specimen, I usually only see them when roadkill, but I agree with Rolf, they were definitely stood at the back of the queue :bang:

Yes, Neil, - and Beryl is thinking of writing a poem about 'A Pleasant Pheasant', so being forewarned is a good thing!:-rolling

I have already written two verses . Beware :-rolling

I take it , the 'Pitstop' is the garage ? :)

OK . Here is your poem Catherine :)

A very pleasant Pheasant

A very pleasant Pheasant came to visit us today
He stood by the window looking through
He thought we couldn’t see
As the plants he wrecked with glee
After trying to raid the feeder off he flew

He’s a very pleasant Pheasant but he isn’t very bright
And he tried to raid the feeder hanging high
So flew onto the roof
Of the summerhouse, what a goof
Now my garden I must go and rectify

He was a pleasant pheasant and his coat was very cool
And his back was a shiny emerald green
After ploughing up the garden
He left with out a pardon
But I hope it’s not the last of him we’ve seen

Wonderful, Beryl!:clapping:

I'll print that one out!:D

Gklad you lik it :)
