When your youngest child – who has spent many months diligently feeding all the wildlife here every day – suddenly announces that He Is A Mother…things get a little weird!!!

One of the females has nested in the kitchen garden, in the very middle of a huge rosebush. Clever girl. And a baby HAS been spotted venturing out.

A pheasant can lay between 10 and 16 eggs so – WE HAVE AN EXPLOSION. Woohooo :o)

P.S. Does this make a grandmother?
