Never knew they came in black!!!!

Just seen one wandering round our garden ( this is the one we hear first thing in the morning, and occasionally at dusk!)

Now, Nicos *Jeanie puts on stern voice *
...you really need to sort out getting photographs on here, y'know!

[Nicos]

Yes- I know...I'm going to have to brush up on my computer skills in the very near future!

...but on the plus side...I did manage to transfer the piccies off my new camera and onto Picassa- for the first time on me tod!!!

slowly..slowly...little by little!

Yup- totally black with red about the head ( not got me specks on so can only say 'head area')

White eh??...not Albino then???

There known as melanistic mutant pheasant (not that they would answer if you called them that).

[jacob marley]
