Spotted by
A large, colorful gamebird, widely introduced globally for hunting purposes. Males are particularly striking with iridescent plumage and a long, pointed tail.
Where to spot
Farmlands, woodlands, hedgerows, and open country with patches of dense cover across Europe, Asia, and widely introduced in North America and other parts of the world.
How to spot
Look for them foraging on the ground in open areas near dense cover. Males are easily identified by their bright colors, long tails, and loud, explosive crowing call. They often burst into flight noisily when startled.
When to spot
Year-round, especially visible during morning and late afternoon as they emerge from cover to feed.

Male pheasants are polygynous, meaning one male will mate with multiple females. They often display their vibrant plumage and distinctive crowing calls to attract mates.
