Over the last few weeks we've been watching the development of a family of pheasants who live out on the golf course. On a couple of occasions the parents and three little balls of fluff were seen at breakfast time. Mum stayed on one side of the path that runs behind our house, Dad on the other, and the babies scuttled between the two. Makes a change from watching the golf whilst you eat! I saw the babies with their Mum again today and they are now small pheasants and wonderfully camouflaged. It has been a good week for wildlife..we were walking along the beach one evening and spotted a natterjack toad. Then our longer walk this week was to Hilbre Island where there were plenty of seals to watch, both on the sandbank and swimming close to the shore. If you look carefully at the photo you may spot the pheasant..I have an equally challenging one of the natterjack toad!
