A female pheasant with the wood pigeons start my next blog post. This wood pigeon is really tucking in to the seeds in the tree stump - as witnessed not only by Liz and I but a small bird in the hedge behind.
A pheasant strolls close by, with the wood pigeons and moorhen beyond. Of course, a few squirrels decided to hang out with the wood pigs too...
Alas, my close up shot did not turn out too well - this damn camera!!!!
I then spotted a reed bunting in the trees.
A blue tit and reed bunting share this photo.
The male pheasant came back!
Along with a robin! An unusual combination of bird in a single photo.
