Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus, #353)

I have a couple of immaculate cock pheasants visiting the garden at the moment, this one and one with a ring (round the neck). Looking back at my BTO Garden Birdwatch records they are regular attendees in March & early April, only occasionally joined by female birds. I’m not sure if they are looking for food, or spreading out looking for breeding territories. They skipped year last year, I thought perhaps because they were scared off by our cat, so it’s good to have them back this year.
