I came across this hen pheasant while driving up in the Lammermuirs recently.It was hunkered down in the grass,just the other side of a fence,and seemed unconcerned with my presence.I thought I would take the opportunity to take some close ups,showing the pastel colours and delicate patterns around the head and body.It is obviously nothing like as colourful as the cock bird but still very attractive when you get in close like this.
I passed the stone wall where I had photographed the cock pheasant from a previous blog and there was another bird up there again.Couldn’t resist and so there is another image from that location,as well.
That’s All Folks.
