The male pheasant, one of our best known, most colouful and probably our most stupid game bird, especially when it comes to crossing the road.

From one of nature's feathered flying machines to some human ones. All the photographs were taken over the last few weeks on my travels around Hampshire. I came across these paragliders flying off the eastern slopes of Old Winchester Hill (12 miles south-east of Winchester) lit by the setting sun...
...and while photographing the red-legged partridge near Northington Grange I heard a plane engine and on looking up saw a biplane in German marking passing over...at the same spot a few minutes later and yet another engine, this time a helicopter flying very low out of the valley and straight towards the camera and landing at a farm a short distance away...
