Saturday Morning Picture Show - Birds Birds Birds

The birds return at last! Meadow Pipets and Pied Wagtails abound , such a fantastic part of the year as the migratory birds arrive back from their amazing journeys to continental Europe and sometimes even further. What i do know is they are back and in big numbers. Today pictures are from Ashford In The Water , and Great Longstone. The pheasants of course are resident all year round and as Ive said before i think they are the most beautiful bird of all . We are fortunate to have one living in our garden and often when i leave seed out for him i find hes always near but has this wonderful habit of playing hide and seek with me round a nearby bush , a master of disguise he walks round the bush at exactly the same speed i walk past but what always gives him away is his long tail sticking out the side , every time he does this i always have a big grin on my face .
