Gill Osborne said:There are loads of pheasants released up here in Northumberland for shooting and we often get all shades...just down at the base of the hill I often see a male who is extremely dark with no neck ring and I have a very dark female who comes into my garden most days.
Perhaps they ARE all different species...oooh I could gain a few easy lifer ticks tomorrow. ESPECIALLY if I don't look TOO hard!

Tim Hall said:Used to see loads like this in North Yorkshire, when I lived up there, especially in the Danby, Egton Bridge area. I'm sure they're just Commons though.
