Who needs an alarm clock ?

Not me, when I have got this fellow to wake me up each morning ! He has taken to roosting overnight  in our garden in one of our old oak trees, he must feel safe up there from the foxes. Foxes, like us are partial to a bit of pheasant !

Pheasant

Depending on the weather and if the clouds are covering the sunrise or not, he starts squawking and flapping his wings any time from 4.30 am onwards. If it is a dull morning it can be as late as 6 am before he starts, thank goodness ! After he first wakes me up I turn over and try to doze off again, just for him to squawk again and so it goes on until I can’t stand any more and I get up – my husband – he sleeps through it all !!

I suppose I ought to be grateful because when I am up so early, this is when I get my blogging done, before it is time to get breakfast and start the day.

Just thought I would share this with you, what gets you up in the morning ?

    Nothing so romantic as a pheasant! On work days I wake up to an alarm clock at 5AM. I am not an early riser by nature, which is a bad thing for a gardener. If I’m not working I will sleep till I wake up according to my natural biorhythms. That is usually somewhere around 8AM, and I don’t think a pheasant could rouse me earlier!

      Romantic , I don’t think that was my thought !! Poor you having to wake up at 5 am every day to go to work, maybe the pheasant isn’t so bad after all.
