I agree its more likely a pheasant. Its not a kestrel or sparrowhawk. |

It could be the start of a collection?
I am always tempted to start collecting feathers. Just never seem to make an effort. |

At least I will know next time.. | Well, they're still very beautiful! Rare isn't always better - a Golden Eagle tail feather is pretty boring... |
