Evening run,

We were slowed a little this evening. In the absence of white fluffy things to look after, the dug paused to shift a large flock of young pheasants 1k down the road and then in through a conveniently open gate.

No violence was employed.

He occasionally moonlights at a local farm where he grew up and his mum, dad and sister still putin an honest days work.

And now there’s a pair of rummaging in the undergrowth only about 15m down the hill from me. Couldn’t get a good photo though, they’re quite camouflaged against the long grasses, especially the drab female

The primary risk to the public and to poultry from H5N1 is pheasants ,its clear from the catastrophic effects of the game bird release in Norfolk that they were the main spreader of H5N1 to poultry.However Pheasants also visit garden and are one of the few meats which are sold ready to be plucked ,feathers ,blood and meat of infected birds are the main transmission route for H5N1.The govt knows this

An advantage of having a brace of rather than turkey for Lunch, apart from the £9 cost, is that there are no left overs. The carcasses have just gone in the food waste bin.
