Pheasant

This handsome chap has been a regular in the garden for the past couple of years.  His mate hasn't been seen here for several weeks - I suspect she has been busy with eggs and chicks.  She has always been very shy but he first approached me for food about a year ago.  Originally he was very wary but he fed from my hand first last Autumn and is now very confident.  If he sees me through the window he runs to the front door.  If I don't respond quickly enough he stands in the porch and crows to attract my attention.  He disappeared for the whole of July last year, presumably while flightless through moulting, but reappeared in August.  I guess he may do the same this year.

The video was taken this morning.
