Hi Carl.
If you want pheasants just come to the Isle of Wight, trouble is they are mainly squished on the road, they have no concept of vehicles on roads at the best of times but it is the thinking with the small brain season so they are even less aware of their surroundings at the moment, one tried to get under my van wheels yesterday, not content with running in to the road it then started random acts of dithering left then right then stop then.... I missed him, but he tried really hard to get hit!

Really great pics from all, thanks.

Cheers Graham.

Great, don't see enough pheasants...I wish we had them down here. The wings spread one is the best.

Thanks for the suggestion, at the moment I can't afford to travel abroad. I know what you mean about things in the road, I hit a deer, or rather the deer hit me last week. Oh well, more food for the coyotes and vultures!

Hi Carl.
A few years ago I was driving home at dusk and a badger flopped out of the hedge about a car length in front of me, he got 2/3 of the width of the car before I hit him. I stopped but couldn't see him, the misses asked if I was going back and I declined with if he's dead it won't help and if he's alive he will be very angry and the last thing I want to get involved with is an angry badger, they can be real nasty.
The next day when I looked at the front of my 1972 Triumph 2.5PI I wished I had gone back, I would have had him made into a rug! ;D Careless little sod had bent the front all out of shape, solid little critters!

Back to the topic, lots of great shots from all.

Cheers Graham.
