What type of pheasant is that? Certainly a cock bird but it's not a golden pheasant is it? Thanks

OJ, nice fly. Is that a normal colour for your Ring-necks? seems lighter than the ones I normally see.

You cynic. But glad you said what I was thinking.

[Old Jock]

Honestly folks! This bird was lying next to the hard shoulder of the M8 near Newhouse. It didnt appear to be damaged apart from being em! well, dead. which I thought was strange. I don't know what kind of Pheasant it is. Not clued up on the subject. I have seen them with a darker brown tail feather though.

I think it was sleeping.

[brownsville]

It sleeps with the fishes now.

Nice tying OJ.
