Common Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus)
A large, long-tailed gamebird. Males have rich chestnut, golden-brown and black markings on body and tail, with a dark green head and red face wattling. Females are mottled with paler brown and black. They were introduced to the UK long ago and more recent introductions have brought in a variety of races and breeds for sport shooting.
This was taken during our Common Ground event held at the Museum on a wet Saturday night in October to celebrate, photography, The Commons and the Flickr community.

Loons are water birds, only going ashore to mate and incubate eggs. Their legs are placed far back on their bodies, allowing efficient swimming but only awkward movement on land.
The Common Loon is flightless for a few weeks after molting all of its wing feathers at the same time in midwinter.
