Pheasant

Love the colors on this one. The focusing is great also considering the branches in the foreground. Good Job !

the bird would not come out of the bushes while I was there, so I had to improvise.

I put the spot meter on his breast feathers for focus and waited until his eyeball was not behind any branch...

took a while, but seems worth it... beats sitting around watching TV

Lovely winter scene and great colours, yes you are right about the camouflage, maybe that's why they are popular game birds.

Very well done!
