Melanistic Pheasant shutterbugParticipant April 3, 2014 at 1:33 pm Pity he didnt have his tail feathers! SeaviewParticipant April 3, 2014 at 4:45 pm Very nice Jenny, the colours are nicely lit. Did you get any with him looking your way. Dave. shutterbugParticipant April 3, 2014 at 11:37 pm Only when he was in the long grass Dave, and you can’t see the colours so well. PadraigParticipant April 5, 2014 at 4:02 pm Nice, wonder was he released from a pen? shutterbugParticipant April 5, 2014 at 6:16 pm As far as I know they do occur in the wild, he is not ringed though he was very relaxed and didn’t seem fazed by my being there, he just made sure there was a reasonable distance between us, but there was no panic at all. IsabellaParticipant April 5, 2014 at 7:55 pm they do occur in the wild, however many of them a bred in captivity and released for the hunting season and are not particularly wary of people. shutterbugParticipant April 6, 2014 at 8:26 am That must be it Isabella, I have never encountered such a laid back pheasant before! :lol: dolinaParticipant May 21, 2014 at 4:44 am Lovely as heck shutterbugParticipant May 21, 2014 at 6:03 am dolina wrote: Lovely as heck :D thanks again dolina!
