What's in there?



It's our school pheasant AND her poults (chicks). They've hatched! A few weeks ago during 'Gardening Club', the gardeners were about to weed an overgrown vegetable patch when they came across this brooding pheasant hidden under the weeds. This was a big surprise as she had chosen a spot right next to our 'outdoor classroom' which is a busy space at lunch. I thought I'd take a photo of her today and came across these two chaps poking out from her tail feathers! Ten eggs were seen in her nest during half term (as she had left it for a while), so hopefully we'll see ten little poults around school soon.
