Found on the edge of a Bird Reserve on the parkland, these are wild Pheasant and not forming part of a reared Shoot.
I was able to observe three young pheasant poults together with the male and female. They were all in tall grass and the young emerged infrequently so I was not sure of the number altogether.
Lovely photos, Roy
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy.
DeleteLets hope the only way they'll be shot is with a camera.
ReplyDeleteThat will be the case John as they are on a reserve and miles from any shooting.
DeleteLovely photos, i've never seen Pheasants so young, I always seem to catch them a little bigger/older!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam, its unusual to see them so young.
DeleteOh my God, it's very cute Roy.
ReplyDeleteThank's a lot :))
Thanks Nathalie.
DeleteLet's hope they can avoid the cars and foxes!
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty good at camouflage Simon and they are miles from cars on that reserve.
DeleteSuch lovely birds. I love how the shape of the colors in the feathers echoes the slope of the beak and forehead, as in the 4th from last shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wilma.
