A remarkably tame pheasant - they're usually very flighty and don't allow you to get close to them, but this one was intent on ignoring my presence only a couple of metres away. Great opportunity to see their colourful plumage close up.

I can't think of any other seaside art installation/sculpture that is as impressive or striking as the 100 iron figures who face the sea and dot the beach and water's edge for miles up the Crosby coastline.
This one stands out, uniquely the only cock. Each one is individual, some more than others with their own crusty personality. They are frozen in position, unable to do anything or say anything. Antony Gormley missed a trick and should have given each of them a voice so that they detect when someone passes by and say something....a cheery welcome, something profound, sensitive, engaging, caring....something inspirational, reaching out...a kind of community care for the lonely walker on the beach, alone with their thoughts.
The Pheasant is a well-known gamebird, among those of more than regional importance perhaps the most widespread and ancient one in the whole world. The common pheasant is one of the world's most hunted birds, it has been introduced for that purpose to many regions, and is also common on game farms where it is commercially bred.
An adult male Cock-of-the-rock feeding on cecropia fruits.
The Cock-of-the-rock’s diet consists mainly of fruit. Often, these colorful birds do not digest the seeds of their fruity meals. Instead the seeds pass through their digestive tracks and are eventually scattered along the ground, making these birds extremely important seed dispensers. In addition to fruit, cocks-of-the-rock eat insects and small vertebrates.
