Sat and watched this Female Mallard trying to see of the Pheasant which she obviously saw as a threat to her Ducklings, she had already chased him away once, she took her brood off into the woods and a couple of hours later returned where Mr Pheasant was happily scratching in the mud, the ducklings charged in around the Pheasant, not his fault this time, anyway Mum blazed in ! this is a little of what happened.
I know the photos are poor quality but it was cloudy and in the woods so could not get a fast enough shutter speed to freeze the action.

They are daft aren't they i was surprised last week as i was walking up a track to the woods and saw a Male Pheasant sitting a couple of feet away from the wheel ruts in the track, as we got closer he ran off, he had been sitting on an egg ! seriously, i guess the female had laid it there and he decided to look after it.

In recognition of Worlds AIDS Day 2009, deviantART is proud to partner with Globalgiving.com to present a charity event and an awareness raising contest (open to all artists)!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

I'd bet on the mallard by default... pheasants are still No. 1 on my daft bird list, being a driver on uk roads.
