Sorry, but I feel like a grandmother. The photos are on www.picturetrail.com/pheasantfamily
She is nesting right outside my back door.

Will try and get more photos when I can but she keeps hissing at me!

If I could bloody find her, she's done a bunk and left me with a little waif who is now in my plastic greenhouse to try and keep her warm overnight.

That's so sad. Let's hope the three others have survived.
