Frequent and unusual visitors...

This morning started with lovely sunshine and a light breeze. Very nice weather for a Sunday... And for those who like to hang out in our garden to enjoy the food that we have actually not put out for them...

Well... First come, first serve...


For the first time since we have moved here, we had a very unusual visitor. One of the numerous pheasants that roam around in our village found his way into our garden. Obviously attracted by the birds seed as well.

I like them very much. They normally walk past our house in large groups. But this one had come all on its own. He wandered over the lawn, pecking here and there, until he decided to hide behind the neighbor's bush... Maybe he had spotted me...

The colors outside are still wintery. Dull browns and grays dominate. But the songbirds have already begun to sing and claim their territories. Spring cannot be far away anymore...
