Thanks Guys,
I hope so Jacque and Irish it was fantastic, wish id looked out the window before opening the door and of course Cassie had to go bolting out.. Ah well..
Just to be sure.. It was tanny brown in colour with a really long tail with touches of black on it (prob feathers) he was quite large from head to tail:( and im sure there was something on the top of his head lol..Does'e that sound like a pheasant?
29 Oct, 2009
Sounds like a pheasant to me Daisydee :))
Your garden's looking fantastic (as usual...) Love all the structural plants as well as the colours. Brilliant! :))

29 Oct, 2009

29 Oct, 2009
Oops sorry Sandra, above sanbaz, missed you there.. Thanks a lot .
29 Oct, 2009
just looked at your pics and saw it Dee, must have missed it before, lovely :o)
29 Oct, 2009
Your garden is looking beautiful Dee, lots of lovely colour. Your dahlia has white tips to the petals cos the air is getting colder. Pheasants are actually very stupid birds....they will fly across the road in front of you and then turn tail and walk under your wheels. We have masses of them over here. They are lovely to look at though...:)
29 Oct, 2009
Ahhh thanks AA, i was wondering why, they look pretty but a sign of the weather changing :(..
So Pheasants are Stupid then hahaha, They are lovely to look at and very rare these parts :)))
29 Oct, 2009
Your not too far away from me - 20 miles or so.....
29 Oct, 2009
He he Dee sincerely hope he made it out of Newcastle in one piece .. I m not a pheasant plucker I m a pheasant pluckers son I m only plucking pheasants ..Yes AA quite right so dozy but lovely to see esp in your garden.
Ps hear we are brewing Newcastle brown in Yorkshire now .. talk about taking coals From Newcastle .
29 Oct, 2009
Your garden is still so full of colour, I never tire of looking at it, you must be really pleased with it.
30 Oct, 2009
~ Disgusting !won't be buying Heineken BB ! all our businesses are being bought up by foreign companies! Cadbury's next?
30 Oct, 2009
Still looks lovely.......what a great surprise to see a pheasent in your garden.....
30 Oct, 2009
Lovely photos dee, and thanks to that elusive pheasant, cos otherwise you may not have rushed for your camera.
Your colours are lovely, and a lot too for so late in the year. It makes me quite angry that those poor pheasants are just reared to be shot as 'sport' and are fed and cared for by humans, so are quite trusting and poor flyers.
Not much skill there then.
30 Oct, 2009
Wow, on your first photo, I love how you've got all the contrasting plants complementing each other - colours and leaf shapes, just stunning.
30 Oct, 2009
Thanks BB, DD, Arlene, Hollyeves, Mad and Dawnsaunt, your so kind with your compliments..
Yeah BB how can they call it Newcastle Brownale Now,
Yorkshire Brownale Hmmmmmm have you tasted it? I tried it once and its nice, Lethal tho..Its not called Mad Dog For Nowt LoL..
I am pleased with my garden DD, in fact im astonished I got it together really, just sort of happened haha..
And Awww The poor Pheasants, how can they kill such beautifull birds, and call it sport, Shocking..
30 Oct, 2009
You have a lovely autumn garden Dee. I hope it keeps going for a while longer so you can enjoy it :o)
1 Nov, 2009
