Magnifiques images
les reflets bleus métalliques du mâle sont extraordinaires
Merci Dani11

magnifique, mon reve!!!

Luminosité différente, posture différente. Il n'y a pas de comparaisons à faire.
Il me semble d'une bonne taille!

On peut assurer que ce Mikado est pur, tant la ressemblance avec le mikado in situ de Dani est grande.
Je ne sais d'ailleurs pas si des exemples de métissage avec d'autres Syrmaticus existent ?

Merci Dani, t'es le meilleur !!!!! Je ne sais pas où tu pêches ces magnifiques images mais franchement, ça fait rêver. Un beau discours ne vaudra jamais une belle photo alors là, tu nous gâtes. Continues s'il te plait, ton fan club n'attend que ça...

Je trouve ces photos sur des sites chinois de photographe qui aiment les petits oiseaux .... de temps en temps ... y a du plus lourd !
Hybrides entre faisan argenté et faisan doré ..... c'est du bronze ou quoi ?

The third photo Dani posted was photoshopped - you can see the snow does not match the feet of the bird at all. However, in late January this year some people took photos of Mikado in snow.

Often bird photographers will feed these birds to keep them around longer, although this is illegal and liable to a large fine (but nobody really checks).  Some more serious birders call Dasyueshan a "chicken farm" because it is too easy to see pheasants (especially Swinhoe's).

There is little overlap between Swinhoe's and Mikado, and they are unlikely to interbreed. Sometimes they may be seen at the same area but the Mikado is never found at lower altitudes where Swinhoe's still occurs.

Here are my photos of Mikado Pheasant at Dasyueshan in early January 2016 (before snowstorm). I saw subadult male in the early morning at the visitor center and an adult pair at another location in the afternoon. Sadly the subadult male was not seen again after a snowstorm later that month. Some rapid weather changes in Taiwan in recent years...
