How beautiful they are and how lucky that they chose your garden to visit

My neighbour had one (called Huddersfield). It visited our garden occassionally - my sons friends wondered what it was.

Yesterday I caught a glimose out of the corner of my eye and thought one of my hens had got out and grown a long tail.



Then I looked again and it was a cockerel pheasant

We have one that walks around the village. He is quite often heard calling early in the morning! Don't mind it myself, quite like the calls of peacocks :)

Apparently he used to have a friend but she was killed on the road :(

It's quite sad to think that he wanders and calls with no one to answer...

I did look @ the price of peacocks when I first moved here but my sensible head was on that day.

I live on an estate in town on sussex coast and couple of summers ago there was a peacock on the roof tops of our estate, have`nt got a clue where it came from nor where it went. Got photo somewhere.
