Pheasant

Seems to be time to get a mate, At breakfast I saw two pheasants walking almost alongside each other but by the time I got hold of my camera there was only one of them left. I hear them making the noise pheasant-males do but I haven't seen them until today. They have turned up around now every year I've lived here, they are a sign that mating season is on.

The weather doesn't seem to bother them, it's been raining gently all day, I didn't get a walk until it was nearly all dark.
