Pheasant in full regalia sitting atop one of his sounding mounds. Seen them calling territorial rights before and clattering the wings together, but this chap also jumped up and down stamping his feet. Looked so funny I started laughing while taking the picture and at 730mm that was a failure...
This cock pheasant seemed oblivious to the hunting season in which he was facing as he was rather placid in allowing a photo shoot! Wandering alone in a field of alfalfa and crested wheat grass it was one of those great moments in nature!
Shame it wasn't looking the other way but pleased I managed one mid drum, full frame image, it was difficult to ensure it all fitted in the frame hence no feet......
