Makes a Change from a Christmas Robin

No apologies for yet another photo of the Pheasant who has become a daily visitor. He is gradually getting used to me being around though he still looks at me cautiously. Yesterday I was able to get within 12 feet (4m) of him for a closer shot as I had been aiming to get a reasonable portrait.

Pheasant 7a

Bobby and I wish all our readers a happy, peaceful end to 2011.

  1. He is a beauty.
    Tempt him with some peanuts John. They love them, and he'll eventually take them from your hand.

    All the best to you and Bobby.

  3. Happy Christmas John. As Keith says they will soon take food from your hand. They are not very bright so watch your fingers.

  4. I may try that Keith. I've put some out for him, unless the squirrel buries them all first.
