Cock Pheasant Drinking

[British Red]

I watched this fellow come off worse in a territory scrap today - so in the manner of males everywhere, he slunk off for a drink

Leave it mate - he's not worth it

As always the shiney pretty boy who gets all the girls preened himself

Its definitely that time of year

Nice shots but the runnerup goes off to lick his wounds and his loser status is now in cyberspace-Gutted for him! It's worth mentioning that Pheasants can have the white vicars dog collar or it can be absent.

Different breeds of Pheasant, Ring neck (white band) or the Old English black neck.
There are so many sub-species of pheasant, Michigan Blues, Mongolian, Japanese Greens, Melonistics.....The list is massive.
And the cocks being the randy things that they are will cross with anything.
Phantoms- Pheasant x Bantam
Gleasant- Pheasant x Glinny (Guinea Fowl)
...List goes on with the crosses as well.

It's interesting because guide books often say that they are the same but a with a little difference. Any ideas which was the first on these shores?
