Now the nesting season is in full swing one of my cock pheasants Ferdinand de Lesseps like to bring his girls, Mildred, Theresa and Prunella down to my garden to feed. (Prunella is just out of shot)
While the girls feed Ferdinand stands gaurd doing his manly bit and sticking his chest out.
Later Mildred gets herself ready for her man by rolling in the ashes of my last bonfire. She knows that there's nothing turns Ferdinand on more that the smell of burnt cardboard.
Ferdinand duly impressed watches.
Mildred satisfied she's all dolled up prepares to leave so that Theresa can get herself ready.
Thersa then takes her turn, all in all it just goes to show it's a man's life!

I love your humor and the photos are fantastic, Sunshine! Thank you for sharing these. I know Kimmie has been seduced of late watching a lovely cardinal couple move into her area. Perhaps she might be persuaded to bestow a few garden shots too, to join yours and Mary's pretty nesting hummer! :)
Lovely post Saffy....though my camera is not of the same caliber as yours....I may post a few pics. I've grown tired of putting seed out only to find it gone an hour later. So i guess you can say I'm starving them....lol. anyways, good idea camille, will post my stuff soon. until then I have some road tripping to do this weekend for Torrie's art show subjects. the theme is "small towns and down towns"....means I'm heading to boarder lands....wish me luck:)
Super photos Saffy.
Love these shots and hearing about your birds!
