Isn't she beautifully concealed. This hen pheasant has been sitting like this on her nest for a while now under the hedge, right next to our drive gate and within feet of where the boys park their landrovers and disgorge themselves and their dogs whenever they visit us. She has laid so many eggs - far more than she can ever hope to hatch - that some have rolled away from the nest.

I love hen pheasants - far less showy than the cocks, but elegant and very beautiful when examined carefully. Yours is a lot braver than most, from the sound of it.
