    Lovely shots Gunilla! The plumage looks like that of a hen pheasant,very subtle colouring,presumably this is to blend into their surroundings during the breading season.

    Happy weekend!

    Cute shots of the bird, even though not as colorful as the male, her feathers have lovely shading and edging.

    Heisann! Vil bare ønske deg en fin uke, og takke for hilsenen på bloggen min. Jeg rekker ikke å besøke alle umiddelbart, får ta en kikk når anledningen byr seg.
    Ser at vinteren er i anmars i Finland. Her er det ennå ikke kommet verken kulde eller snø til tross for at det er desember alt.

    I find your Pea Hen to be very beautiful, with the layers and subtle textures in her beige/brown shades.

    Pretty bird to my way of thinking, but I like tan, beige and other shades of brown.
