Pleasant Pheasant

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.

Best full screen


Enjoy the day.

Such a charming shot Herb.........the pheasant is really beautiful and you've captured the detail and colours of the feathers superbly. It looks gorgeous surrounded by the wild garlic.

I bet it smelled lovely there as well.

You've absolutely nailed this Herb. The pheasant's variety of colour and your tack sharp focus works brilliantly against the surrounding vegetation. Full screen is superb too.
