  2. Sunil, this is my first promotion, granted to this very image! I like the composition here and the timing issue you must have had. Funny animals these are, and i bet they are just as nervous as any other species of pheasant;) Posted 11 years ago
    1. Thank you very very much Ludo for appreciation and promotion. Yes, i do agree with you that these pheasants were very nervous and it took lots of efforts to capture these. Posted 11 years ago
    2. Good timing indeed. I've been chasing a common pheasant in a yard a few times, but it keeps hiding in the bushes very quickly and I couldn't get a decent shot. Posted 11 years ago
  3. Great shot indeed. Nice job ! Posted 11 years ago

The Lady Amherst's Pheasant is a bird of the order Galliformes and the family Phasianidae. These are native to south western China and Myanmar, but have been introduced elsewhere, and have established a self-supporting, but now declining, feral population in England, the stronghold of which is now in Bedfordshire.
