It is not known who owns it but they are bred locally for a shoot.
Mark said: “It causes mayhem. It makes a beeline for me as soon as I arrive. The only way I can escape with my ankles intact is to shoo it away with my bag.
“I’ll have an encounter most days. It just keeps attacking people.”
Locals in Cheddleton, Staffs, say the wild bird has adopted a small road as its territory.
Chris Stubbs, 35, said: “It’s always there. Mark gets it from him every day.”
