Found this over friendly pheasant in Saumarez Park. Obviously gets fed a lot because he pretty much chased me as I walked away.

It felt like I was watching illegal pheasant fight so I chucked a tenner on the floor and sat back to see what happened. It lasted a few round then they started pestering me for food!

Took a quick walk around Le Grade Pre to see if I could spot any wildlife. As I was packing up in the car park I clocked this pheasant on the wall right behind me. I think she was looking for a mate because I could hear the male in the distance.

Back in the office this week, only myself and the abundance of wildlife in the garden outside. This pheasant turns up every morning for a feed then disappears for the day.

White pheasant hunting in the rain! Didn’t really have to search for long but found her sitting in a green waste pile. Managed to get about 2-3 metres away and she didn’t really care I was there.

Heading back around the coast as the fog was rolling in, this pheasant caught my eye just chillin on his perch.

Has to be the most unsubtle bird on the island. Walking the lanes, minding my own business I hear this pheasant hundreds of metres away then it flaps about almost saying, oi you, I’m over here! Got pretty close too so he obviously didn’t give two poops about my presence.

Three excited English Springers during a pheasant hunt this afternoon. Their job was simple, charge around as fast as they can and chase out the pheasants for the inevitable fate.
