Pheasant numbers up to 14 hens
today all scratching around in the snow, even walking down the garden
path. Nice to see but hope they return to the fields soon and leave the
garden alone. A walk in afternoon heard a buzzard continually calling
high in a tree not far from a tree buzzards have nested in for many
years. Must be puzzled by all the HS2 works going on underneath it.
Later 42 and possibly more yellowhammers and maybe 50 meadow pipits busy
feeding in an field of oats that was not harvested and now flattened by
the snow. Friday morning only 1 hen pheasant and a cock bird which was
displaying to the hen, continually circling the hen and showing off all
his colours.
