Pheasant - Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

I have lost the plot.  I had lots to do today, a cake to bake and ice for a coffee morning tomorrow, housework and the weeding of a very overgrown border in the garden and I have found myself grinding up peanuts to feed a male pheasant which is quite capable of looking for food itself now the weather is milder.  Pheasants have decimated sections of my garden, eating the growing shoots of plants and I don't look too kindly on them.

 Pheasants make a regular appearance around A Worcestershire Hill.  At the moment we have one male who we have named Boris.  We name all the male pheasants Boris, why, I don't know, it just seemed to happen.  Sometimes we have Boris 1, 2, 3 and 4, depending how many male pheasants are around.  Female pheasants don't get named for some reason.  Maybe that is because they do not stay around long enough.

We had a lot of heavy rain yesterday and Boris looked very bedraggled and sorry for himself.  My partner decided to feed him peanuts which had been ground up for the small birds which do not use the bird feeder and then he left for work stating that he had give Boris all the bird food that was left.  That is when I lost the plot and starting grinding up peanuts for a pheasant.
