Female Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus)

Early this evening I saw the Squirrel in the tree at the end of the garden, so I thought I will go out and sit quietly.  The idea was when it came down I wouldn't scare it.   By the time I got out it had disappeared, so I thought I would sit and wait.

As I walked to the chair the male Pheasant moved a few yards away from me and continued to feed.  I hadn't been in place long when I noticed one of the females dozing in among the Irises below the bird feeders.  She did occasionally open an eye just to make sure I wasn't doing anything I shouldn't.
