I think this is the male in the local territory. He appears to be in great condition – no doubt limbering up for another rowdy mating season in January! He is more than happy to stare you out and is very used to having his photo taken, though the official strategy is to ignore him.
We have a garden morning tomorrow – I still have a few hundred daffodils to get in the ground. I expect he will stroll past to inspect the works.
