Flustered Ring-Necked Pheasant in Grass Postcard

Who ya calling a turkey? I spotted this handsome male Ring-Necked Pheasant foraging in the oddest of places ... not a marsh or wild woodland habitat, but the green well-maintained grass of a heritage air park! He did not seem concerned that a couple of camera lenses was trained on him, but, from time to time, would stand up on his legs, flap his wings, and give his best rooster impression, before returning to the task of foraging. On a rather birdless day, hearing this elusive gamebird vocalize and seeing him displaying those impressive bright red wattles really made my day. Photographed on Good Friday 2017.
