At first we were surprised by our visitor. Now ‘our’ pheasant shows up every morning and pecks around the ground under the birdfeeder. Even when it snows!

Brilliant! My mother has a few pheasants that she feeds. She’s become very attached to them and refers to them as “her’s”. She does it every year, despite what the future holds for them. Great image, as you can tell, it got me reminiscing. #MySUndayPhoto
Kriss MacDonald says
My daughter was very relieved that the hunting season ended today as she’s getting rather fond of our visitor.

What a fabulous photo. Love that he’s even got snow on his back!
Kriss MacDonald says
He was rather keen on finding food and didn’t seem to mind the snow!
Rossi | Rossi Writes says
Such a stunning image! I love the colours of the feathers against the background of the frosted field. Poor pheasant looks a bit cold!
Stella Lee@ Purfylle says
Too lazy to hunt for itself when there’s free food on offer. 😀 She looks so striking against the snow.
Phoebe @ Lou Messugo says
All his glory is shown off against the snowy background; such beautiful birds.

Love the contrast of the pheasant against the snow. Poor thing looks so cold and I imagine he’s sohappy you have a birdfeeder in the garden.
Kriss MacDonald says
Thanks Izzie – I think he’s puffed up his feathers because of the snow. Sort of looks like an angry bird with the round body!
Katie says

Tracey @ mummyshire says
They are gorgeous birds and yours (possession is everything!) looks nice and plump!! We have a pleasant too and it’s always fun when the children spot their ‘colourful bird’ in the garden.
The snowy background really enhances the pheasants colours. Lovely photo xx
Rosie @Eco-Gites of Lenault says
Lovely that you can get a pheasant to come into your garden. We have lots of birds around us but peasants are quite a are sighting.
