Pheasant Coucal 2

Everyone seemed to be a bit intrigued by the Pheasant Coucal I posted in my main album so here is a close up showing his interesting porcupine like feathers

[Barb Newcomb]

They do look like porcupine feathers don't they. Great detailed shot.

Great close up, His feathers look sharp.

[Joan Robillard]

Cool!

[Babs]

Fabulous close up. Don't think I've ever seen one this close before.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

"Porcupine-like feathers"... that describes them perfectly. Very intriguing bird. It seems amazingly calm and comfortable in your presence.

@lyndemc It wasn't Denise but its amazing what the offer of some nice mince will do. (I wont tell you what the mince was mad from.) It would grab a piece and then race off and hide from me while it ate it and then slowly sneak back again for the next offering

[Peter Grave]

Wonderful detailed shot Terry.fav

[Andy Mcculloch]

Wow I had no idea they had feathers like that, great shot

[Denise (lyndemc)]

@terryliv Okay, we'll skip the mince recipe but it's good to know there's a secret to getting skittish birds to come up closer to the camera.

[Jane Anderson]

Tremendous!
