pheasant hunting season


I had the most frightening experience yesterday

I was driving through the beautiful gardens of Madingley when a silly pheasant popped out from nowhere into my path. the poor thing was clearly more interested in showing off his feathers than his own safety for it didn't react until the last second. All of my emergency stop procedures converged into my left brain (the right one was busy listening to music) as I braked suddenly.

Driving speed: 20 mph.


I am pleased to inform that the narcissist pheasant is safe and well.


At least until the hunting season.
