Some pleasant Pheasants

At Leighton Moss a few weeks back, I came across a very large group of very friendly or stupid Pheasants. It was really cold and they really didn't seem concerned by me at all. So I took advantage of this fact to get some close ups. If I'm honest, they were a little too close, but I shouldn't complain I suppose. These game birds usually scare the life out of me when I flush them (unintentionally) so it was nice to wander along the path with them

    OMW, Adam, what a privilege for you to get so close to pheasants. Ours turn tail when we're twenty meters away. Amazing photos too. The females are almost as pretty as the males; thanks for sharing.

    If my experience of these is anything to go by, I'd pick stupid!

    Had a good day at LM this year - and as usual failed to see Bearded Tit!

    They have beautiful colors. Very lucky to run into such trusting pheasants. Hope they don't trust the wrong person.
