Intresting place to build a nest!

That's unusual be interesting to monitor her chicks

Bjs, we took the chicks in the bin to the game keeper, they are now in the care of one of his bantams, with all the rain we have had here today there is no way they would have survived when just hatched.
Last year in better weather we did have 3 survive out of 11 from a more tradional nest in the garden :o)

Ah you did the right thing Ph at least they stand a good chance of surviving now ....

That's great! How are the ducklings going to get out - do they fly straight away?

Sticky it's a pheasant, and the game keepers bantam is being mother now, see above.

ah, thats much better ~ sorry ~ i should have read all the comments properly ~ wonder how the pheasant thought she was going to get them out!??

12 eggs hatched is amazing!

She was calling to them from outside the bin lol, with the game keeper next door we get a lot of pheasants and they got to be one of the most stupid birds on earth :o)))

more stupid than a wood pigeon???

Definitely :o)))

oh dear me! must be bad!

I agree with that, very stupid birds, but oh so tasty!!

never eaten pheasant!

It is delicious....
