Pheasant 2, Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop, , Nuriootpa, Barossa Valley, SA, Australia [Photography]

A close-up, high-angle photograph captures a male Lady Amherst's pheasant standing on a weathered corrugated metal surface, possibly a roof or ramp. The bird's head is dark green and black with a small red crest and a bright yellow patch around its eye. Its most striking feature is a cape-like ruff of white feathers with bold black scalloped edges covering its neck and upper back. Its chest is dark black, transitioning to white underparts. The pheasant's legs are grey, and its tail feathers are partially visible behind it. To the right, a wire mesh fence is visible. The lighting is natural, and the focus is sharp on the bird's head and neck.

They were raising a large variety of pheasants at the farm shop of the famous Australian food presenter, Maggie Beer.
