Bird Feather Identification? Staithes, Yorkshire, England, UK. (1 Viewer)

[rebekahf662]

Hello! I was wondering if anyone could please help me identify which bird these feathers came from? They were found on top of a hill in Staithes which is by the coast in Yorkshire, England, UK. They’re quite small, unfortunately I don’t have anything with me to measure them with so I used a coin as a reference for size!

Hello Rebekah,

welcome to Birdforum!
Good idea to use a coin as a size reference!

Your bird is a Pheasant, please compare Jagdfasan (Phasianus colchicus)
