One year we had a mama pheasant, and her dozen or so youngsters, regularly nipping into the garden for a feed. Somehow I think it will be a long while before Toby Too permits such shenanigans!

At first I thought she had been splattered by a muck-spreader, but she didn't smell enough for than, then I wondered whether she had perhaps been splashed with render by the workman next door, but it wasn't the right texture for that. it remains a mystery. I got most of it off her and then she finished the job.
