One would fly from cover first thing in the morning right past my window: they can make a very loud call as they do and sometimes it was quite a disturbing way to be woken up. Oddly I was commenting on the way back from Inverness the other day just how many there were and how many had been killed on the road. I've never hit one but my son made a fair mess of the front of his vehicle's bonnet when he did. Oddly I can't ever recall seeing one on Lewis. I must check on that.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-5055682110307875772017-02-04T21:06:09.133+00:002017-02-04T21:06:09.133+00:00And then there is the pheasant plucker...And then there is the pheasant plucker...Shooting Parrotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503757845024102476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-12752083435202887132017-02-04T14:55:49.344+00:002017-02-04T14:55:49.344+00:00We always have them eating at our bird table and I...We always have them eating at our bird table and I am pleased to say they are safe now for another year unless they are daft enough to walk in front of a lorry.

The ones hereabouts (the ones I've seen, anyway) are the Pheasant Coucal (not as elaborate as the one you photographed...I think that is a ring-neck, isn't it?). The ones I've seen around this property are a brown, speckled bird. The birds were originally introduced here, too, from Asia. <br /><br />Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.com
