This turkey and two of his friends have been eyeing our backyard for a while now and finally drew up enough courage to grab a bite to eat this morning.
I expect to see more of them now that they know we are safe.
They are notoriously shy birds, and will dash away at the slightest noise so I am currently housebound until they leave ... or I may go about my business so they get to know me.
I see that it has been quite a while since you were given the challenge of a self portrait. If you are anything like me, I hate being in front of the camera. For your challenge this week, I want you to take a unique "self portrait". You don't necessarily have to get your face in the shot. You can take a photo of your feet, hands working, you decide. I hope this makes sense to you!!

Yes - it has been a while and I think it is high time I did one. My present profile photo is ages old. It's a new year, I am getting a new camera this week, and maybe it is time for a new look as well!
Thank you!
Just a field away from us, there's a farm of game birds. Think pheasants, grouse, ducks. We are in hunting, shooting, fishing countryside. Hunters 'buy' the birds, release them and shoot them. Am less than happy with this approach; the birds have no defense and the hunters have no scruples. However there is some good news. We are seeing more of the breeder's birds in our garden, mainly black pheasants and grouse. Resourceful escapees! They feed and at different times to the woodland birds, are timid and don't squabble among themselves. A joy to provide them all with food and a safe haven.
