The Start of Spring








This morning I saw the male pheasant strutting across the lawn.
I paused to watch him and then saw that he had 5 females with him. I do so hope that lots of eggs are produced and the hatchlings grow to be wonderful visitors to my garden.

Weasel

So excited to see a weasel in the garden! He ran to and fro behind the bird table under the Ash tree. I also had fun watching a kestrel perched on the gazebo. The buzzards are back after the sheep departed and can be seen grubbing for earthworms on the field. The male pheasant stands on the hill in the morning waiting to be fed and the female phesant is as tame as ever and will feed 1m from me with little concern. The spring flowers are coming up and hopefully the sun will shine and I will be able to start clearing the garden for a spectacular display.
