Bright eyed pheasants hiding!

A glorious day here at the farm but a cold wind is blowing. Our guests staying  in Wren cottage said they had a peeping tom last night, don't panic, it was a hare! she had come right up to the lounge window and was peering in. The windows are floor to ceiling in all cottages and the wild hares are funny as sometimes they do go and have a look in. They have beautiful big eyes, just imagine, they probably look at guests in the cottages as if they are viewing creatures in a zoo!!! They may even be impressed that we keep humans behind glass and not bars!
I discovered a pheasant when I was weeding a border in the garden today, she has made a nest tucked in among the leaves and plants. They sit very still to try and hide from predators whilst they incubate the eggs and perhaps only leave the nest once a day to feed. I  grabbed my camera and took a quick photo for you to see.
