Lady Amherst Pheasant

The Lady Amherst Pheasant (Chrysolophus amherstiae) is a bird of the order Galliformes and the family Phasianidae. These are native to south western China and Myanmar, but have been introduced elsewhere, and have established a self-supporting, but now declining, feral population in England, the stronghold of which is now in Bedfordshire. As of 2009 only three males remain at one site, known as Jackdaw Hill, near Millbrook in Bedfordshire. The adult male is 100-120 cm in length, its tail accounting for 80 cm of the total length. It is unmistakable with its black and silver head, long grey tail and rump, and red, blue, white and yellow body plumage. The cape can be raised in display.
