In full breeding regalia, a truly magnificent bird!

On 8th April a cock and hen behind my garden. She is much smaller and has feathers which camouflage well in dead grasses when nesting.

On 14th April, a hen wandering casually through my garden looking for food. They eat young grass tips as well as grains, and love peanuts! They take no notice of me!

On 14th November 2007, a couple of hens were feeding amongst corn (wheat) stubble. I managed to walk within a few feet of them, their eyesight is poor in low light. Well camouflaged

She decided to run for cover, the sun was very low in the sky and lit up her feathers.
by wallaby1 Dec 30, 2008 6:05 PM
With an eye still on me, she headed for cover of dead grass next to a deep drain. Notice how her feathers match the dead foliage once more when out of the sun.

Another female took to flight, they fly low for cover.

Wings on the upward beat.

On 4th Novemver 2007, a cock running for cover. They tend to run instead of flying, but will fly if needed. Not so well camouflaged in stubble as the hen!
