While walking up to the hut to ask the committee about planning for a poly-tunnel, a hen bird (female pheasant), dashed under some raspberry canes. Good job I had a digi camera in my pocket cause far few would believe me if I said we had pheasants on site... allotment19 sits in the suburbs... the nearest shoot is at least a mile away.
Pheasants are a great addition to the site since we are not allowed to keep fowl and pheasant eat lots of insects. The overgrown plots on site no doubt provide ideal shelter and habitat.

The hen sits central to the frame. Sorry about the poor quality.
This shot involved a quick stalk, after which the hen took flight down hill (think the flash might have scared it off).
