Dodgy Pheasants, Hemblington, 27 October 2017

With the absence of any real birds to look at I took a detour to Hemblington on my way into Norwich this afternoon to look for some plastic pheasants!

They were rather skittish but I managed some decent shots of Reeve's Pheasant out of the 6 or so I saw but even though they were more numerous the 'Green' Pheasants (actually 'tenebrosus' ssp) were even more nervous so I need to return to get better shots of those!

There were loads of Red-legged Partridges with the pheasants, a female Marsh Harrier circled overhead and Long-tailed Tits were remarkably numerous with c50 seen. A Sparrowhawk, several Redwings and 2 Fieldfares were also recorded.
