Wed 26th March



These 2 cock Pheasants were letting the hormones get the better of them in the garden and were setting up for a scrap. The pheasants have certainly been seeing each other off lately and trying their best to woo the females. Some of the Red legged Partridges that were released locally for shooting back in last August, that survived through the winter have also been seen out in pairs at various different places. Certainly with the mating season being here again with the birds, it has given me a greater opportunity to get the camera out in use again. The birds themselves have obviously become more aggresive and territorial, so giving me some useful shots.
Down at Rock Mountain today, there was a fall of 117 Meadow Pipit. The cold winds from the North have gone, and instead we have had rain today with a raw edge to it. IKB
