Whenever I drive around the varioius parts of Scotland that we visit, I always notice the wildlife and especially the birds, so that some kinds of birds become associated in my mind with specific places. I thought it might be fun to do a series of Scottish birds, each pictured in a place where I’m used to seeing it.
Glenbuchat is a beautiful little glen near us, and every time I go there the roads seem covered with pheasants. Pheasants aren’t the most intelligent of animals, and they mostly just stand in the middle of the road staring vaguely at the car, which gives me time to have a good look at them and make some quick sketches. So here’s the first in a series of Scottish birds in Scottish places – the pheasants of Glenbuchat, having a peck over the harvested fields

Lovely! Makes me want to be in Scotland now…
Very striking. I’m originally from the Cotswolds and that’s where I associate them with. We had the misfortune to run one over the other day – no chance to avoid it. My daughter reminded me that they are not native but were introduced to this country for the sole purpose of shooting them! They have such beautiful colouring.
I love this design. It is beautiful.
looking at these birds gives me a feeling of standing in a field. Love it.
Your pheasants design is spectacular as always and your realistic background fabric is perfectly designed to enhance the coloring of the pheasants. Thanks!
