Keep your head down
19th November 2018
The term birdbrain always feels accurate when considering the wisdom that Pheasants display when they run chaotically across the path of oncoming cars.
Trying to get close to them however isn't easy, the smallest movement seems to be automatically sensed by their peripheral radar. It's the time of year that they really should be keeping their heads down given the background noises of shotguns perforating the quiet autumnal tranquility.
The mornings when I have other domestic tasks to achieve and no time to get out the camera, 10 or more Pheasants sit on the gate fencing opposite the living room window. When I am set and ready for action I am lucking to get one or two!!
Perhaps its me who is the birdbrain as I am clearly missing some seriously good photo opportunities!
