Saw this fellow on my walk. Strange encounter, he seemed to want to fight me for possession of rights to walk along the path. Got to within two feet of him and all he did was cackle louder. When I passed him he followed me until he was happy I was out of his patch. I reckon he was a bit gaga, and, fooled by my red jacket, thought I was another pheasant.
