There
is your answer - YES - it WAS a juvenile pheasant. Sighted today
therefore, one male, one female, and one juvenile! All in the same
area within five minutes.
Well,
with kingfishers and juvenile pheasants new to my sighting, would
there be anything else new on this venture? One last shot of the
youngster before I disappear into other birds - the black necked
swans for example.
I
managed to get a good close up shot of the swans this trip - the only
swans I saw today where at least one bird was not standing on just
one leg!!!!
Before
continuing with the last selection of pictures from my trip, a quick
update on the back yard. Very little food was consumed over the
weekend primarily due to stormy weather and magpie presence I
assume, though I myself was not around much to witness the cause. It
might have been a cat or sparrowhawk.
To end today's post - HERE is some great
tit info.
Oops, I guess the mammal head was an optical illusion. :D
ReplyDeleteThose black-necked swans are beautiful.
i like the trumpeter swans best - but they have so many different types at the reserve - at least 4.
