Strutting his stuff

Loud squawking coming from the patio alerted me to a standoff between two pheasants this morning.
 
It seems we have not one but two pheasants and they are busy carving out their own territory in the garden. This one strutted off leaving the other one to slink off silently into the wood.
 
Both survived the annual shooting spree at a local estate.
 
Go to extra for some light relief.
