Dear Friends,
A request - if you like the photos, can I request you to kindly TAG your friends, please? - let them also enjoy - right? - thanks for your favour.
This is a series of Photo Posts where I am going to introduce One animal in each post. Most of the photos are from different Zoos including Mysore Zoo, Vandaloor Zoo, Nandankanan Zoo etc. - in this post, let us discuss Golden and Rainbow Pheasant.
Have you ever captured any photos of Golden or Rainbow Pheasant? Can you give me company by publishing your shots?
Golden and Rainbow Pheasant
The Golden and Rainbow pheasant (scientific name: Chrysolophus pictus) is a well-known member of the pheasant species to which the peacock belongs. They are inhabitants of China’s west and central mountains. They belong to the Phasianidae family and their genus is Chrysolophus.
The male and female are very different in terms of their colour combination. The male pheasant is beautiful and has very bright feather colours but females are diminishing in colour. The male pheasants are larger than females and their tail has a length of double their body length. Males and females have an approximate average length of 100 cm and 70 cm respectively.
The Golden pheasant is least concerned according to the IUCN Red List.
As an LG Photographer, I have spotted Pheasants in Mysore Zoo Here.

Photo - 10. Caption: A walking Yellow Golden Pheasant. (A tricky photo for - the background and foreground are blurred & the object is in focus = depth of field is ‘Shallow’. Used higher shutter speed as the object is walking).
These photos were captured using Sony 7R M2 with Sigma 150 - 500 mm Lens.
Hope you will enjoy this photo post
