Right Place, Right Time
You can spend hours waiting for a great shot, but sometimes taking a good shot with your digital camera means being in the right place at the right time.
The Pheasant

We were clearing the garden after the winter and had dug up a bit of ground to do some replanting as we lost quite a few plants this winter. Having gone indoors to take a break we were discussing our plans over a nice hot cup of tea and looked up at what we had accomplished, and there….. saw a stirrring in the bushes. Lo and behold! a female pheasant strutting around in the freshly dug soil. Grabbing the Nikon we caught a nice shot of the pheasant just getting comfortable in the long grass. Maybe not a shot that will win a competition, but quite a unique photo.
Phasianus Colchicus
The Pheasant – Phasianus colchicus – is not a native bird to the U.K. it was first introduced by the Normans in the 11th century as a game bird. Its usually seen in the open countryside near woodland edges, copses and hedgerows. Females are mottled with paler brown and black, wheras the male have iridescent copper-coloured plumage. Pheasants have a varied diet which they forage for on the ground and occasionally in trees, their diet is seeds, berries, insects, worms, grass and fruit.
It’s really all just a matter of having your camera ready, within easy easy reach and charged up ready for the next shot.
Good Luck!
