Broody pheasant hen
A backblip. Pulling the weeds and pruning back the garden I suddenly heard a hissing sound and looking down saw this pheasant sitting in the flowerbed just below where I had been cutting. She stayed there for several days and once when she was off the nest I had a look and surprise surprise she had been sitting on rather a large oval brown pebble from the Chesil Beach! She continued to sit there and then one day she and the pebble were gone.
I wondered whether she was the hen whose nest had been wrecked in the hedgerow of a field nearby. Broken eggs had been found on the track eaten either by a fox, badger or rat.
