OMG!!! What a beautiful pheasant this is!!! Such a rare visitor to the Gallery too.

We do have a picture in The Opus, but it's a released bird in England and we much prefer pictures to have been taken in their home range.

I'll upload both your wonderful pictures to the article shortly Dev. Many thanks for sharing them with us my friend. A great find for you I think.

Thank you all, your comments are much appreciated.

Delia, it was indeed a special one. It was in my bucket list ever since i arrived in China. Took 5 years to plan a trip but was worth the wait.
