Hi,

Not all Water Voles these past few weeks, (I do have one more to post), a bit of a diversion yesterday to the Isle of Sheppy in search of Pheasant....

All the best

Nits aside, a very nice capture. Well seen and taken.

Classic pleasant pose, i like pleasant, they are looked on as a pest but the colours of the males are beautiful, nice dew on the grass, well done

Slightly different take on a Pheasant.

very nice Phil, the light and moring dew are lovely, any action from the hares at all?

Lovely shot Phil. Looks great with the pheasant looking head on like that.

I really like this, the bird is a stunner and the dew on the grass and soft background make this a top shot. No nits from me

That's a very pleasant pheasant Phil

A lovely image, super colour, and worth the diversion! Wish I had more luck on Monday

Hi Phil,
A cracking result.

It's very a refreshing take on these beautiful birds. The head on pose is great!

This is very nice Phil, but the composition is a bit left-heavy to my eyes, and I'd be tempted to crop a bit off the right side.
