Last night, a few rabbits and a squirrel and then I got to chase another pheasant .. I was going down the quiet lane into my village; this particular section is just about one car wide, banked edges with hedges, downhill. It's a no-through road with few houses on it so I tend to pick up a bit of speed.
The pheasant was in the road, and 'cos it was hemmed in by the hedges, it couldn't easily run off to the side so it ran wildly down the road in front of me for a time, zig-zagging back and forth. While I scrubbed off a fair amount of speed and sat behind it, cackling manically.

Eventually, it remembered its wings and off it went.
This morning I heard - but didn't see a woodpecker. There was plenty of daffodils out which is always nice on a crisp bright spring morning. And I spotted the Greater Crested Groundsman on a golf course doing groundsman things. Which, that early in the morning, seems to consist mostly of having a sneaky bit of practice.
