A hen pheasant on the lookout for food that had been dropped from the feeders at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust at Slimbridge in Gloucestershire, this one was taken yesterday afternoon in the same area where I photographed the water rail. This was my first outing with my new Sigma 150-500 lens and an enjoyable morning was spent in the company of fellow epzer Ade Osman. There is horse called "King Edmund" running in the 5.15 at Cheltenham this afternoon, but if you have any sense you will not put any money on it!

You've done well with this Ed, that new lens is certainly doing the trick for you and is certainly very comparable with my old Bigma 50-500mm, I'll post a shot of the Water Rail tomorrow so you can judge for yourself?
Only just noticed V2 yer crafty beggar......I'll get you for that!

Hmmm, I cannot provide any reliable horse-racing advice, but I could supply recipes for V1...

Beautiful markings on the bird Ed, good use of the new lens, I think the species in V2 is a MUSTAPHAMOUSECAPTURE.

A lovely sharp shot in V1 Ed', and always good to see another Tog at work 
John
Excellent detail in this shot, that lens is pretty good, great work.

Its a little late now Ed but I thought you were about to give us the name of the winner lovely detailed shot
Many thanks for all your comments and clicks, they are much appreciated, Ed
Beautiful detailed plumage (we are talking v1 her, Ed).That bird is beautifully speckled.
I am glad you chose not to use the full-frontal shot in V2, not sure if we could stand that!
