Well just look at me.....

Brilliant blog, DD2. How lucky that you were there. I didn't realise cats would tackle such large birds :)

This ginger tom would tackle a charging rhino!!!!

Having been in a car when it was charged by a rhino at a safari park, he's braver than me - I nearly had to have a change of underwear!!!

Made me laugh Dotty,I`ve had a mental image of feathers and fur flying, love both pics and captions..lol........

a brave pheasant and a lovely site to see tho i was abit confused... .. thuoght the words were on boards in your garden !!! then i realised -- silly me -- its been a difficult day

what a lovely surprise DD.
lmao Viv....i nearly choked on my tea...;-)

not at my expense please sandra !!!!! :-)

i thought i was the only one who misunderstood things like that.....lol

Me too!, Viv. This one's obviously feeling safer risking the cats than the guns.

Excellent blog Dotty, the captions really made me laugh. Goodness knows what would have happened if you hadn`t intervened. I remember Jake chasing one across a field and it was one of the funniest things I`ve ever seen, I never knew that pheasants have all the grace of an elephant when they fly...lol! :o))

great blog dotty, love the captions :o))
Gee i had to giggle when you said about rhino hahaha

Lol, great blog DD, such funny birds aren't they always seem to run rather than fly, we used to have a ginger cat that lived near us Fudge(our lab) was petrified of it, he'd hide behind me if we ever saw it on a walk,lol.

Nice one Sandra, they are such beautiful birds - well the male is - yet so stupid when you`re driving in the country they always seem to be walking in the road. Perhaps the`re adrenalin junkies and like a bit of danger. Bet he wouldn`t have liked it if that cat had come out.

Brilliant...tripping the light fantastic !!

Lovely Blog Dd...How vain this bird looks! just strutting around, not a care
in the world...Loved your captions, so funny, it really is a tonic, having a good
laugh..... cannot blame the cats for wanting to chase this character, just
prancing up and down in front of them like a decoy! LOL

great photos DD, we get a lot of them around here, and they really are dozy birds LOL

That was great fun - including the comments! Thanks for the chuckle, folks. :-)))

Thanks for a very entertaining and attractive sequence, DD !

We dont expect to get a bird like this at the seaside, so what he was doing in our garden is a complete mystery, as you all say lovely to look at but a bit dim.........still it brightened the day lol, thanks for all your amusing comments.

He reminds me of Tim 'Nice but Dim' (Harry Enfield).

great blog dd. love the photos

Great blog and wonderful captions!

I would love your garden ornament Dd, so handsome, love him 'just struttin' his stuff':-))

Hi Dotty...
Only just found this blog...
I've been extra busy in my gardens lately...
Really good photos here, and I love the captions ! :o)

Thanks TT glad you enjoyed the blog. Thanks to Wagger, Havoone, Katnip and Bornagain. have not seen sight nor sound of him since I took that pic...

lovely bird in a lovely garden! Loved the commentary!

Bet there's a ginger tom licking his lips somewhere and picking feathers out of his fur lol! Wonderful, funny blog Dd, great photos.Am still chuckling as I submit this!! lol x

He didn't appreciate your intervention, Daisy - he was ready to take on all comers, lol.

Thanks Karen, Flori glad you liked it, Wagger it would have been a good shot, just could not trust the ginger cat to miss the target though.

Forgot to say how lovely your garden is looking too Dd:-)

Thanks Bornagain.......it is getting there lol

Great blog Dotty, very funny indeed .... Well done :-)

Cheers Louis, was a shock I can tell you.
