Garden Whitethroat & amorous Pheasants on Fallowfields

On Friday May 15th, having been woken up by Cosmo, one of our cats who has been isolated at home, following a nasty fight he had with another cat. I could hear the fine male Whitethroat singing regularly from within the garden. He was singing from the top of our Copper Beech tree and was reasonably obliging I set up the tripod and camera half way down the garden. The Whitethroat would vary his song posts, from our garden Copper beech (a favoured perch) then singing from scrub 25 metres away left and right from there (on Fallowfields) and then 40 metres away further back. The Male Whitethroat would always return to the top of the Copper Beech. Meanwhile, 4 Jays flew right over the garden and north- east. In the evening the male Whitethroat was again singing from the Copper Beech tree and a pair of amorous Pheasants were just over the garden fence and the male took full advantage and then they had a look around afterwards! Really pleased to see that the leaves of the hybrid Spotted X Southern Marsh Orchid (back flower bed) & 3 Southern Marsh Orchid leaves are coming through in the back garden pots. I am still awaiting the one at the front to send leaves up (fingers crossed it would the sixth year if it does?) Rather ominously, British Gas was doing some drilling work along the Fallowfields road bordering the sight, maybe getting ready to install underground gas pipelines in advance of the building work which will be undertaken at some point on this site in the future, the arrival of Badger building will mean no future wildlife including Whitethroats, Green Hairstreaks, Pheasants or Stock Doves (the latter may return once the buildings have been constructed?) on the site.
