Poet and Pheasant - Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers

 There seemed little point embarking on the new day until full daylight which neatly coincided with this

New Kid on the Block
cutting across the clear blue sky an

AUGUSTA WESTLAND 139

of Qinetic Castle Air based at Boscombe Down (thanks John) and as has become usual starting in the Southern Quarter the first wildlife to be encountered, unless you include the single Fieldfare still munching away at the berries on the Ornimentals, was an extrodinarily large

Herd of Deer
c8 in all and all unsurprisingly
ROE
feeding voraciously.
Along the Oak Line with the Moors river this
COMMON BUZZARD
was a totally unwelcome guest as far as the local
CARRION CROWs
were concerned and soon given the elbow
with preening continuing.
Within the Solar Panel Compound a moment of

Déjà Vu
as like in previous days the female

PHEASANT
had returned to what appears to be a
Favoured Perch
while what had been an ordiary sort of day was about to close with something of a
BANG
as a small flock of First for the Year
SISKINs
were located feeding in the tree-tops at the
Sewerage Works
and most unusually (ditto f.f.y.) this
JAY
was also found feeding on the verges of the busy lane leading to the Eco Recycle Centre.
