I've probably seen them, but never had time to identify them. My daughter told me there was a pheasant type bird out by my garden. It was lightly raining, and I didn't expect to find it, but luckily less than a minute later...success!

Well done! They can be tough to see before they explode into flight.

Thanks Craig. I should have put a little more effort into post processing the second image!

Thanks! My daughter said she nearly hit it with her truck. If she had not told me he was there, I would have missed it for sure.

Thanks Ian! It really did feel like he was posing, just not long enough! Could have used my 400mm rather than 70-200!

Thanks Ishrani! Hope you get your chance...no doubt you would have gotten a better shot than me!
