It was at my local reserve. I've been going there for 18 years and this is the first time I have seen them there, There is a large pine woods just over the river so may have come from there.

I was showing my birding mate photos from 1999 when we had a Golden Pheasant appear in the garden. Very nervous and secretive! Hiding at the slightest noise. (The pheasant not my mate)  I think there is only one place (in East Norfolk) where they exist…and only in a few pairs. So I have no idea where he came from. Stayed about a week then vanished. Going back to the 70/80s we had Spotted Flycatchers and Redpolls nesting in the garden!! But as they built housing around us the wildlife disappeared. Redpolls only come here in very harsh winters….which we aren’t likely to see again. And Spotted Flycatchers are only found in rural church graveyards, again in the east of the county. We are building so much there is no room for wildlife. My neighbours have gained planning permission to build 3 houses on their garden….right at the bottom of our garden where the tawny owl roosts……not any more. BIG ENLARGEMENT of a print taken on compact camera from house…..so not good but ok for ID.

I was using the lens at 600mm (no x1.4) and it must have been about 25 feet away so images did not need to be cropped very much, 1/500 sec and 1600 ISO. As stated I shot it through the glass as if I opened the door it would have taken off, it was on the lawn feeding for about 15 mins. This photo is the full frame as shot.

You are lucky. When they come here they are right down the bottom of our lawn 75+ feet….so lots more cropping needed.
