A remarkably tame pheasant - they're usually very flighty and don't allow you to get close to them, but this one was intent on ignoring my presence only a couple of metres away. Great opportunity to see their colourful plumage close up.
Male Pheasants are very territorial at this time of year and often call to ward off potential rivals.

I can't think of any other seaside art installation/sculpture that is as impressive or striking as the 100 iron figures who face the sea and dot the beach and water's edge for miles up the Crosby coastline.
This one stands out, uniquely the only cock. Each one is individual, some more than others with their own crusty personality. They are frozen in position, unable to do anything or say anything. Antony Gormley missed a trick and should have given each of them a voice so that they detect when someone passes by and say something....a cheery welcome, something profound, sensitive, engaging, caring....something inspirational, reaching out...a kind of community care for the lonely walker on the beach, alone with their thoughts.

The Cock-of-the-rock’s diet consists mainly of fruit. Often, these colorful birds do not digest the seeds of their fruity meals. Instead the seeds pass through their digestive tracks and are eventually scattered along the ground, making these birds extremely important seed dispensers. In addition to fruit, cocks-of-the-rock eat insects and small vertebrates.

Portugal - Mafra - Convento - Palacio - Basilica - Missa do Galo
Missa do Galo é o nome dado em países católicos à missa celebrada depois do jantar da Véspera de Natal que começa à meia noite de 24 para 25 de Dezembro.
Seu nome consagra a lenda segundo a qual à meia-noite do dia 24 de dezembro um galo teria cantado, anunciando a vinda do Messias. Na Missa do galo já todas as velas do Advento se encontram acesas e canta-se o cântico de Glória. Dada a sua importância, o próprio papa faz questão de rezá-la.
Tradicionalmente, depois da missa, as famílias voltam para casa, colocam a imagem do Menino Jesus no Presépio, distribuem os presentes e compartilham a Ceia de Natal. A missa do galo é celebrada, em Roma, desde o século V, na Basílica de Santa Maria Maior.

This Cock Pheasant is a regular visitor to our garden. But recently he's certainly showing signs that this is mating season and that he has undergone several rounds with other contenders. You can't quite see in this image but it looks as though he's lost a large amount of feathers from the back of his neck and the rest of his colourful plumage is looking somewhat ravaged.

An entertaining mornings walk with Gus, a cocker spaniel, and the pack .. all I can say is hat's off to anyone who owns (and manages!) a spaniel! Auntie Elk was in her element as she doesn't quite like the randomness of how a spaniel seems to behave, thinking Gus was, perhaps, going to attack her at some part during the proceedings ... so took every opportunity to consolidate he top dog position over Gus by baring teeth and giving chase at every opportunity .... Gus was in a world of his own thankfully so they didn't engage in top trumps! When we arrived back at the car, my lot were still a pristine black and white (they purposely avoid unescessary mud and puddles) whilst Gus was shall we say wet, muddy and had ears full of burrs!!
