Golden Pheasant

[KIPAX]

So I spent a nice hour this morning photogrpahing a Golden Pheasant out in the wild . I am guessing this has escaped from somewhere as it' wasn't shy having its picture taken

Looked it up and quite rare. someone took a pic of me taking this pic.. Apparently bird has been around a while and only a couple of poeple who are not bird watchers or photogrpahers know about it.. aftre seeing my failed attempt at king fishers yesterday they messaged me to tell me about it

Would nature mags be interested ?

Just searched facebook and poeple are posting pics all from over the place (not this bird) . dont seem that rare
