Scozmo's Photery

I say A Pheasant because they all look the same! Well, some have markings or damaged feathers but generally, they’re pretty identical, to me anyway 🙂

As some of you know, I have a feeding post up by an old Oak tree on our lane and I was up there on March 14th this year, standing right by the post after dropping some food on it, when I looked down and a Pheasant was sneaking towards me. (They all sneak) 🙂 I was standing with my back to the Oak so maybe I was camouflaged? Maybe his eyesight wasn’t great? Either way, I had to step back to get the first shot of him!

I wasn’t quite sure what to do, I wasn’t exactly hiding and he was just ignoring me so, I backed away and let him get on with it, he was eyeing up the post so knew there was food up there.

If you look closely at that one above, you can see the trees reflected in his eye! I loved this shot.

Then, he hopped up onto the post and set about eating, stopping to check on me every now and again! 🙂

I don’t think they’re the brightest birds in the world but, he did know there was food to be had! He does drop by quite often when I’m there but usually keeps a distance!

I think I can add these as some of my best bird shots? 🙂
