Feeding Time

A little bit of bravery enables a pheasant to pick up the crumbs without competition from the ten other pheasants that had been in the garden this morning.  She kept looking for food as I walked around with my camera a few feet away.  I thought I’d better go and top up the feeders as we were out in York all day yesterday.  I just love the markings on female pheasants, they don’t have the beautiful colours of the males but the patterns are beautiful.
