Five out of six female pheasants that are visiting our front garden - the sixth one was walking to a point behind the pampas grass while I was setting up the camera.
These are probably recently released birds that have gravitated to a regular food source, probably encouraged by the resident couple ... Our semi-tame male [Hercule / Herki] will be pleased to have a larger "harem" in the spring.

baw[25] - hercule

Hercule is scratching around for some dropped seeds ... and finding a few, judging by the "I've get food" chuntering going on !

[the trap is us trying to catch a small mammal, that we think might need some tlc]
[the empty feeder had dried mealworms in it earlier]

The tail and part of the back of a female pheasant, probably not the same one as seen earlier - this one seems to have more black spots.

Here's a nice side view of one of the lady pheasants.
Her colouration is rather more pink or pale brown than the normal shade.

GCT[6] - a bit close

Sadly a bit too close for the trailcam's focus.

I thought that I has heard one or other of the resident pheasants ... they have been making a good job of hiding at this time of year. Not too sure if this splendid chap is actually a regular visitor.
Will put some seed out for them.

two bonus items here - the female is heading for the woods.
and secondly, there seems to be a ghost image - a bird in flight - just above and to the left of Tufty's head.
