For some while now at Mere Sands Wood there is a Male Pheasant which is almost totally green apart from a red wattle on its face.
Whereas normally they have a metallic green neck, and a golden brown plumage, this one is green all over.
Is this normal?? Some discussion took place today in the hide and a guy said he had seen several like it around Yorkshire. I have certainly never seen one like this anywhere else and my books do not mention it. Is this a freak of nature or something that does occur naturally?
Sorry for no pictures........
