            We have eight female pheasants this morning! It's attempting to snow and not much light so there's not much definition in this picture. Where those two ladies are is six foot above the ground and one is balancing on the little stand for the small birds.

            They're not only eating but are throwing seed down for the others.

                    Twice today I heard the spotty woodpecker just outside on the Willow tree, and twice he noticed me picking the camera up :doh:

                      I think they sense it Zigs. It's amazing how they disappear even if you think about getting the camera! :)
