Golden pheasant, Tresco Abbey Gardens, Isles of Scilly, Cornwall England.

in photography •  7 years ago  (edited)

I took these photos in June last year while in the Isles of Scilly. This bird is native to forests in mountainous areas of western China. Feral populations are in the UK and several other countries. I think the colours are amazing, it's quite surprising when you first see one. More info here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_pheasant
