The Common Pheasant was introduced into the UK as a game species and for hunting. It is now widely distributed and can be found across the country except for northern and western Scotland.
The breeding population in the UK is estimated at 2-3 million pairs.
I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
