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 Ai***ft 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.
