We're watching a pair of pheasants on the front lawn. The cock is
doing his full mating display with very obvious passionate intent. The
hen is looking really fed up as all she really wants to do is eat the
grain

Or, is this unseasonable behaviour?

I don't remember it before. But I've been out of the UK for a while.
The pheasants round here (N Yorks) are pretty frisky now too.
