Courting Pheasant
Photographed just after 6.30am whilst on route to the Little owls, 'Broken tail' was in full vocals trying to attract the females. It will probably niggle some, but the membrane over the eye is just coming into play, but I'm not dropping in a different eye. Shot at a low ISO, so need for any NR, files are super clean and shot at 12fps. The grass had a heavy dew, hence the rather wet and bedraggled plumage.
Thanks to those who viewed or commented on the previous posting.

Note: The subject is fully wild and completely unconstrained. Besides the potential impact of my presence, nothing has been done to intentionally alter or affect the ongoing behavior of the subject and, of course, there has been no use of any form of bait or other form of wildlife attractants (including vocalisations) in the capture of this image.
