Polish Wildlife


Today the sun is shining and there are clear, blue skies. So what better to do...than go for a walk in the Polish countryside. Flora and fauna (even in winter) is abundant here in Poland...and it wasn't long until we came across a herd of deer (8 in total!). The first picture looks as if it was taken in the mountains...but that hill behind the deer is actually a huge landfill (the result of the construction of the Sharp factory near ToruĊ„).

Polish Pheasants in the Winter Snow

The male pheasant scares one of his female companions
and shows who's the boss when it comes to food!
The male roams the snow looking for food
The 3 pheasants search for grain under a cherry tree

Video captured of the pheasants

POLISH NATURE ON YOUR DOORSTEP: I spotted these 3 pheasants this morning from my kitchen window. They were busy pecking at grain through the snow. These images/film was taken 3 hours and amazingly as I type the birds are STILL outside eating! Hungry indeed!!!
