Under Pressure

The love rival! 

Under pressure and my goodness Philippe worked hard tonight. He saw the usurper off and stood magnificently still and very puffed up by 'his' feeder and the girls, all five of them came flocking. Standing guard over his harem we giggled watching him whilst making supper tonight.

I am retracting about this being another pheasant - no way - this is Philippe. He is at home here, he's not afraid of the dogs or me and his behaviour suggests he really does know what he's doing. 

It was incredibly amusing to watch the ploys and the antics of the pheasants and the ducks over the food. No prisoners taken! 

Tilly is looking better for her antibiotics and we have had a tail wag. I haven't told her about next week.
