I’d like to introduce you to our latest visitor. This is Scruffy the Pheasant – so called because his tail is in a terrible mess. He is very tame and comes running when we open the back door. In this video he’s taking peanuts off the back step.
He visits at breakfast time, but wanders around the garden most of the morning. There is a female around too, but we don’t see her very often. He has started crowing, so it looks as though he’s setting up his territory in our garden. I wonder how many females he’ll attract with a tail like that!
