WoW Dev! What a wonderful flight shot you've taken of this beautiful pheasant!!!

I'll be adding it to The Opus shortly, as it's the first flight image to come in for this species. Could you please advise the where and when you photographed him, there are so few pictures in the Gallery taken in their native range.

Is this a 'normal' flight action, or would he be displaying?

Many thanks for sharing this beauty with us my friend.

Hi Delia, thanks for the nice comments. I have updated the location, sorry about that. It's been a while since my last visit to the gallery section. This was taken in December, so the birds were not displaying.
