Cottage Diary - Aspenwood self catering luxury Holiday Cottage overlooking Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland.

Sitting out in the evening sunshine yesterday when a very proud and plump male pheasant came strutting and clucking up the driveway. We wondered what all the noise and showing off was about but then saw that he was out to impress his female companion - as most males do. He escorted her round to the bird table where they enjoyed the remnants of seed and nuts on the ground - boy did this colourful guy know how to impress a lady!
Without waiting to pay the bill they ambled off down the grass bank and away for high jinks in the heather.
