Bowood 2015 #7 (Tuesday 24th February 2015)

I took advantage of some sunshine on Tuesday to do the Bowood Estate footpath walk from Pillars Lodge. On my way towards the bridge over the lake I was pleased to see my first hares of the year, and when I reached the bridge I found this cock pheasant close to the path, and I've chosen it as I think it is my best pheasant shot to date, and he has such handsome colours. I fear they are bred for sport so I hope he escapes the guns.

I walked along the lake and saw grebes and herons along the way, and on the return I saw buzzards and a kestrel, a roe deer that crossed my path and two more hares.
