Well I guess its that time of year, imagine the effort laying these little beauties, thats one tired pheasant. All safe and cordoned off for the coming weekend of Paintball Airsoft and Blasters.
Since moving to the site over the years I've seen a marked increase in the diversity of wildlife we have, from one pair of nesting Buzzards I now have three nesting pairs, there were five but the recent bird flu epidemic took a few, a fox family living in a den close to the gun hut, roe deer, muntjac deer and we've recently spotted and identified a Chinese water deer, Jays, woodpeckers, a resident inquisitive Robin, owls although were not sure which species, various finches, rabbits, hares, even a few indigenous snake species, dragon flies plus lots of other flora and fauna. Good woodland management and careful considerate game zone planning seems to have worked very well indeed.
