Pheasant Colours

The Common Pheasant – Phasianus colchicus – is a beautifully coloured long tailed game bird which is native to Asia but was introduced into much of Europe by the Romans in the 11th century. The male (which this is) is much more colourful than the female which is sandy brown with a pattern of black bars and spots. Common throughout the UK, they eat insects, berries, seeds and even fresh leaves and shoots. During the breeding season, one male will mate with many females which then lay between 8 and 12 eggs, raising the chicks alone. This beauty was seen at Martin Mere.

Pleasant Pheasant

Seen on our way around Fountains Abbey. This is the male (Phasianus colchicus) with is very distinctive colourings. It is in a small area of garlic plants and so my nose twitches. These will have been bred at the abbey and nearby county estates for game and so when we see these we always hope that they are safe from being shot.
See PiP for closer view of the garlic.

Enjoy the day.

A handsome gamebird, the pheasant is an introduced species that has settled here with little problem. It can be spotted in its farmland and woodland habitats, although you'll probably hear the loud, croaking call of the male before you see it.

Tufty and his "plus one" having a visit to the front garden diner - between them, they have cleaned up almost all the spilt seeds.

Pleasant Pheasant looks for the 'All Clear'.

Our Dovestones reservoir area is surrounded in part by private land and some of that is used to rear pheasants in order to 'shoot' them for sport at various times of the year. Those birds are then eaten as a fine delicacy here in Britain. The pheasants whilst alive live a good life no doubt, with lots of easy good food left for them in very nice countryside. However many stray to different area's and here is one that I have shot with my camera whilst I could hear real shootings across the next distant reservoirs.
Of course my wife and I was calling good luck to this escapee.

Enjoy full size and continue to enjoy the Christmas break.

Hen Pheasant - East Blatchington garden - 28 8 2022

I don't know who was more startled - me or this hen pheasant, when I found it in my green house. She had the good sense to leave via the open roof window and disappeared into the shrubbery at the far corner of the garden. She hung around long enough for me to get my camera. She eventually left over the fence pursued by Oscar, one of the many cats that frequent our garden.
According to my brother-in-law - she looks to be a young bird, hatched this spring.

The Rivals

Two cock pheasants fighting for the favours of the hen birds. They sparred for about 7-8 minutes until a short snow shower briefly interrupted their rivalry, after which they went their separate ways.
