Introducing Tom & Jerry - two gorgeous visitors to Introducing Tom & Jerry - two gorgeous visitors to our garden. What a glorious Bank Holiday it has been, sat outside, listening to the birds. It truly is a privilege to be in the same space, for them to still show off in front of us. This is the fourth or fifth pheasant in our garden, and we settled on Jerry as his name.
