This is actually the first time I shot a video with any kind of camera (have zero experience with those things), and it was a fairly cheap camera so that's why it's so low-res.
It's two pheasants I came across while walking in the park yesterday morning, and they were engaged in some ritual. I'd never witnessed them doing this before, so I thought I'd record it (had taken the digital camera with me to practice shooting some pictures).
It's short (2 minutes), but I hope it can be of interest to some of you guys. I'm by no means an expert on Eurasian pheasants or any species of pheasant for that matter (do not ask me details about how many eggs they lay, where they originated in the wild, details on their diet, etc.), but I think they are gorgeous birds and it's always nice to see one walk out of the bushes and do their thing (they're relatively tame in the park).
