Pin feathers that are useful to artists are to be found on this fine little bird. According to my knowledgeable father-in-law, this is an absolute fact. In the sub -zero temperatures it has been a real priviledge to spot these brave little fellows darting through the woods without a care!
They are distinctive birds with a long, narrow beak & speckled lemon feathers. Their appearance in the garden is a rarity & a real treat for anyone lucky enough to meet these shy creatures. They are part of the gamebird family but have a grace & elegance that eludes the humble pheasant. Shh, don't tell our resident pheasant Elvis that I said this!!
