first for garden

[watervole]

I've just spent ten minutes watching a rather lovely female pheasant. In 25 years of living here, I've never seen one in our garden before. She seems to like the lawn close to the hedge and she's doing a very good job of eating up some of the birdseed that gets knocked to the ground by the sparrow from the feeder.

She looks a bit like this (not my photo) http://community.webshots.com/photo/102728157/120073738nhEoPI

I hope she comes back again.

Where do pheasantsgo in the summer? For the past three years we have had a covey(?) of pheasants in the garden over the winter and they vanish for the summer.
