RECONNECT WITH NATURE
“I believe that if everyone took the time to experience nature, we would see our planet with other eyes and treat it with greater respect. Perhaps it all starts with fascination, which is followed by the desire to take care. I hope my pictures can contribute to create this fascination.”

WORLD OF
BIRDS
Pheasants are large, long-tailed gamebirds. The males have rich chestnut, golden-brown and black markings on their bodies and tails, with a dark green head and red face wattling. Females are mottled with paler brown and black.

WORLD OF
PHEASANTS
The birds prefer fields and farmlands with brushy cover, though they also inhabit woodland undergrowth and some wetlands. Females nest in fields or in border habitat and lay a dozen or more eggs, which they incubate with no help from the cock. Young pheasants grow up quickly and can fly within two weeks. They will remain with their mother for six or seven weeks. Many pheasant eggs are destroyed by predators or by humans (particularly in farm country), and young birds also have a high mortality rate.
