Hi there,

Recently we have had a pheasant visiting the back garden and we have been leaving corn out which it has been eating. Last weekend we found an egg in the middle of garden buried in grass and leaves but there has been no sign of the pheasant in a week or more. Just wondering is this normal? I thought they would build a nest for the eggs that they lay? Also i thought the bird would normally sit on their eggs?

Thanks!

If you haven't seen hte phesant, then it may well be gone
