Pheasant






This week a very rare bird visited my garden. A Pheasant; Not a garden bird, but mostly seen in the fields and wood.

He (or better say she) came for a drink from the pond.

You could tell she was very shy, constantly looking up and around to see whats around. After a quick drink she ran away on high heels.

Squirrel and nuts








Squirrel is moving like a vacuum cleaner over the grass.

Sniffing out for hidden nuts be has berried days before. It does not  look like he finds some. So I throw out some nuts I have earlier collected for him. A few moments later he's back and finds them.

I wonder what's going on in his mind. Few minutes ago there were no nuts! and now there are!

What a surprise that must be. With a smile in my heart I throw out some more nuts.

Redwing

 





The berries in the common holly are ripe.

Since a few days I see that the redwing discovered the berries and together with the blackbirds they have a berry-party.

Squirrels digging up nuts







 Many times, I see squirrel coming to my garden and digging up a nut.

He knows where he put them and when he is hungry he goes to his storeroom.

Toad stools












 I went back to the place where I found toad-stools last year.

It was then a great surprise for me finding them. As I then thought I had missed them all because I was not able to go and search for them.

At first I did not see any. but when I looked better I saw two red ones! Maybe a bit small...

But to my relief it was something which is better that nothing. Then when I looked better, to my surprise I saw lots of small beginnings of toadstools as a small white dot.

That means I have to go back soon to see if they have grown.
