Forest Pheasant


A cock Pheasant perches atop a mossy tree stump surveying a sea of bluebells.
Something of a field craft success for me, managing to sneak into position for this shot, especially with the sound of shotguns ringing in the distance.  Was on the lookout for deer, but this chap made for a much more colourful shot and another first for my check list.  

The early covering of bluebells made for slightly different landscapes too, since usually the trees are green with new leaves, but are still relatively bare this year.  I will blog more shots through the week..
