Lunchtime visitors

Hi there

Just a quick lunchtime visit from me today.  I just came in from the office (last day of working before my op!) and was about to make myself a sandwich, when I saw a mummy bird and her chicks walk across my garden.  From the lane, across the grass, and on to the field.  By the time I'd grabbed my camera they were almost in the field.  
Most of the photos are as they are making their way across the field.  I've no idea where they were heading, nor what sort of bird they are.  Very sweet though, and it made me smile.  I hope you can see them - it's amazing how well they disappeared in the longer grass.

Have a great weekend.

(PS - very naughty I know as I have some many WIP at the moment, but I have just got to make myself a v-stitch blanket.  Rico merino has been ordered.  I shall justify it as I need a fresh project to start whilst I can't do much!)

  1. Hi Sara,

    They look to be pheasants in my very humble opinion I am no ornithologist. Mum looks too big to be a grouse.
    Hope all goes well with your Op.

  2. I think that they are Pheasants as well, it is a long time since I saw grouse but I think their necks are shorter, and they are much smaller.

  5. Pheasants it is is then. I never realised they had so many chicks. Now I'm worried that the fox will get them as it is a very open field! Oh - and my wool arrived this morning.

  6. Good luck with your op Sara. I hope your foot heals quickly, but not so quickly you can't enjoy a good chunk of feet-up crafting and blogging time x
