Evening entertainment
09th April 2019
Over the last couple of months our evening entertainment has been very much looking out of the window at the antics of the local pheasant throng.
From having one twitchy male pheasant to having now to least three proud boys, pumped up with raging hormones, competing in their breeding finery for the attention of the ladies! The latter, is has to be said are shameless flirts and they come hither / stay away from me behaviour certainly drives those bad boys stir crazy!
Recently the males have taken to calling throughout the night in a vocal attempt to gain superior rankings. Displays of their feathery finery have been more akin to Peacock behaviour but what has impressed me the most is their tenacity to never give up hope..one of those fine ladies will eventually relent and then maybe peace will ensue for a while.
