Evening run, #ScottishBorders
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.

Garden wildlife: a pair of pheasants. They are very sweet with each other. Aware of me, keeping an eye on me but not unduly frightened.

And now there’s a pair of #pheasants 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
#H5N1 #Food #Pheasants #BirdFlu #AvianFlu #GardenBirds #Gardens #Poultry #Chickens 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

Look at those colors! The somewhat gaudy, always colorful (and I think so beautiful) iridescent feathers of a male ring-necked pheasant gleaming in the January sunlight of the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia. The area is home to a large and thriving pheasant population due to the number of farms and field for open feeding as well as the nearby forests for nesting, #Birds #nature #birdwatching #Pheasants #NovaScotia https://fineartamerica.com/featured/portrait-of-a-pheasant-karen-cook.html

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

Good news. Our #Christmas dinner costs are down. A brace of #pheasants only cost us £9 this year, £10 last year. They’re waiting in the freezer. Haven’t bought the #sausages yet though.
