Pheasants

I was walking to the veg patch....stop me if you've heard this one before... and my approach disturbed a male pheasant and his numerous chicks ( I reckon about 10) who had been shading themselves in the potato patch. It was quite a departure.

Taking a break from cutting the grass - bit dull every day and am building with carpenter's assistant, Rachel, a shady area in the garden. I will post a photo when we've finished.
