Too wet to woo…....

It rained most of the night but at 5ºc it was warmish rain. It was still spraying down this morning when I took the decision not to move too far from the house.

This bedraggled pheasant was sat on the garden fence looking very miserable, so much so that when I appeared at the top of the garden she just looked and then turned away again. They nest in this hedge every year so perhaps she was waiting for her bird to turn up. Perhaps he'd decided it was too wet to woo today.
