Species: Kalij Pheasant (adult female, juv)
Place: Chaffi nr Sattal, UK
Date: 03 October 2014
Equipment: Sony Alpha 37 + Tamaron 70-300mm macro lens
Behind a small house near Chaffi is a forested hillside. Across the road in front of the house is a gurgling river/brook and a hillside beyond. A family of Kalij Pheasants, Male and Female with 5 juveniles make their way down the hillside across the river and busy road to the forested hillside behind. Close to sundown they wind their way carefully to the backyard of the house to feed on grain scattered there. They are given company by White-Crested Laughing Thrushes and Grey Treepies. We enjoyed two lovely evenings one with the Kalij and the other without watching the birds feeding.
