Turkey .... Meleagris gallopavo
This lovely red headed turkey cock was trying to impress the hens while I was photographing him.
A turkey's throat and head can change colour according to its levels of stress or excitement.
Turkeys make a gobble, gobble sound to try and attract hen's.
Photographed recently at Avon Valley Nature Reserve, Saltford near Bristol.
Yes it's a mirror image! There was only one cock. If you look carefully - the a tribal-looking face, neck and shoulders have appeared in the pattern of the dust below between the two cocks! Weird when that kind of thing happens.

The merry and frolicsome Cocker Spaniel, with his big, dreamy eyes and impish personality, is one of the world's best-loved breeds. They were developed as hunting dogs, but Cockers gained their wide popularity as all-around companions. Those big, dark eyes; that sweet expression; those long, lush ears that practically demand to be touched' no wonder the Cocker spent years as America's most popular breed.
The cock fighting culture in SE Asia is fascinating. Male dominated obsessions in which houses and life savings are won and lost. Doping and skulduggery is apparently rife, Lance Armstrong may not be running the most sophisticated doping program after all.
About the Breed
The merry and frolicsome Cocker Spaniel, with his big, dreamy eyes and impish personality, is one of the world's best-loved breeds. They were developed as hunting dogs, but Cockers gained their wide popularity as all-around companions. Those big, dark eyes; that sweet expression; those long, lush ears that practically demand to be touched'no wonder the Cocker spent years as America's most popular breed. The Cocker is the AKC's smallest sporting spaniel, standing about 14 to 15 inches. The coat comes in enough colors and patterns to please any taste. The well-balanced body is sturdy and solid, and these quick, durable gundogs move with a smooth, easy gait. Cockers are eager playmates for kids and are easily trained as companions and athletes. They are big enough to be sporty, but compact enough to be portable. A Cocker in full coat rewards extra grooming time by being the prettiest dog on the block. These energetic sporting dogs love playtime and brisk walks.

It's one of those birds that makes you wonder. Am I really seeing what I am seeing? Am I really hearing what I am hearing?

The story behind the image:
My parents had two dogs and bought this little beauty after one of them, a beloved beagle passed away. The other dog, a German shepherd got comfort again and takes care of his new, little friend.
