Field Notes
Description:
Male has a long, barred, golden tail, a green head and wattles. Sometimes there is a white ring around their neck. Females are much duller by comparison and are brown all over with a much shorted tail.
Habitat:
Woodlands, farmland with hedges, big gardens and reed beds. Found in much of Europe
Notes:
These two male pheasants began fighting as I passed this field on a walk. They were quite far away so maximum zoom was used which has degraded the picture quality a little.
