Game Birds

As usual the garden has been a hive of activity today. All the usual visitors have been around. I am so thrilled at our visits from Tree Sparrows. We have at least three of them visiting us regularly at the moment. On and off, all day, each day. So no apologies for this shot, it's pure self indulgence.

We realised today, that we have two different Cock Pheasants visiting. We only see them one at a time, and the second one may well be a fairly new visitor. But we had a mass visitation tonight from our four resident game birds. Mr and Mrs P (the regular pheasants) and the Partridge Family. All four in the garden together, for quite a considerable amount of time. Try as I might, I COULD NOT get a picture with all four of them in it. So instead here is a flavour of their visit.

Apologies for the quality of the pics, as usual they are through glass, and the evening sun was reflecting in it!
