A family of hybrid geese turned up. Greylag x Canada. Makes for interesting colours and markings.

Not a very good picture. They took me off guard. We were running loud tools and my friend said, "look over your shoulder!" This is the Eastern subspecies of the American Wild Turkey.

Sorry, I got a new computer and lost almost all of my files. So, I can't drag and drop. Most of my pics got saved on my Imgur account. I'm trying to see if I can copy and paste them, Joe.

Delighted to find this Woodcock while coppicing this week, may be a bit hard to spot in the leaf litter! 🙂

I think I got it. Eastern North American Wild Turkey! I have 30 acres in Wes Virginia. We have lots of Deer and Turkey. This past year my friend saw a Fisher, or Fisher Cat. It's in the Weasel family, but bigger. Kind of like a Weasel with an attitude. They are known to decimate Turkey flocks. I'm assuming though we have only seen one, there is at least a pair. I hope they don't wipe out our Turkey's.

Interesting article from Jersey, seems Greylag Geese are working with Uber...

My first sighting this year of the Cranes (Grues) migrating North, a recognised sign of the imminent arrival of Spring, early this year as they have been flying over for ten days now.
