This is just so typical of wildlife photography! Two cock Pheasants were on the lawn having a right go at each other in the garden of the house I was working on a couple of weeks ago. This was something I’d wanted to photograph for a long time but I was unable to get any photos as the owners had invited me in for my lunch.<\/p>\n

Here I am this week on another job, sitting in my car having my sandwiches and a Pheasant runs across the lawn to attack a rival right in front of me. Unfortunately this time the fight takes place on the tarmac drive, and I only had my old camera and very old 100-400 lens with me (which isn’t as sharp as it once was).<\/p>\n

So I took some pics anyway and to be honest they aren’t too bad- but could have been so much better. Next time.<\/p>\n
