Before leaving Minsmere in the evening I came across a couple of male Pheasants. They were clearly squaring up for a fight. Unfortunately they were so engrossed in each other they didnt bother to keep their distance and were far too close for photography, even with 300mm. I decided to simply stand and watch as they fought about three feet away - an amazing sight.
After about a minute this defeated male retreated before trying to gain some respect with a few calls into the evening. The sun was very low which helped create some nice side-lighting:
Further along the road rabbits were everywhere as they emerged to feed:
