Our regular visitor

Tuesday October 20th 09
                            Since the end of April this year we've had a regular visitor to our garden,he's a handsom male pheasant but I'm not quite sure what type. I know there's nothing remarkable about pheasants being seen on farmland  but it unusual to see them in  back gardens where I live in the Pennines of North East Lancashire,he comes almost every day waits at the back door and doesn't go away until he's fed.
   There's no female about as far as I know, so it looks as if we've got him for the winter,he's living in the undergrowth between the surrounding gardens.
