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.
