About the Breed
The merry and frolicsome Cocker Spaniel, with his big, dreamy eyes and impish personality, is one of the world's best-loved breeds. They were developed as hunting dogs, but Cockers gained their wide popularity as all-around companions. Those big, dark eyes; that sweet expression; those long, lush ears that practically demand to be touched'no wonder the Cocker spent years as America's most popular breed. The Cocker is the AKC's smallest sporting spaniel, standing about 14 to 15 inches. The coat comes in enough colors and patterns to please any taste. The well-balanced body is sturdy and solid, and these quick, durable gundogs move with a smooth, easy gait. Cockers are eager playmates for kids and are easily trained as companions and athletes. They are big enough to be sporty, but compact enough to be portable. A Cocker in full coat rewards extra grooming time by being the prettiest dog on the block. These energetic sporting dogs love playtime and brisk walks.
The bold free range chickens wandering the streets of the old Village keep an eye on us suspicious visitors. Just admiring the signs, sir.

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.

An adult male Cock-of-the-rock feeding on cecropia fruits.
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.
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.
