Golden Pheasant

Wolferton Triangle Norfolk.
Two birds feeding on verge this morning, this was the second bird, are they pure Golden Pheasants both being 1st Winter males, or are they hybrids.
As we sat in the car watching then the first bird crossed the road in full view, followed by the second bird a minute later, shame about the early morning light.

This was the first of the two birds that crossed the road.

Flew from beach and landed on sea, a very confiding bird.
