Rainbow Pheasant

I couldn't believe the colours on this pheasant (Golden?) which was strolling down the path at a local conservatory. Taken with 5D and 24-105L.

Thanks for looking.

I love number 2, but doesn't he look serious though?

Nice shots of a colorful bird. The bird looks like it's fit for an Egyptian pharaoh. :)

Wow...that is a colorful fellow. Nice job with the photos.

Goodness me... I never knew pheasants were so colourful. I had the impression that they were fairly dull coloured... I can't possibly imagine shooting something like that for sport.

This has to be one of the best shots of a Pheasant. I too didn't realise how colourful they can be.
Brilliant!
