On Sunday 13 Dec. a male Golden Pheasant fled across a track into thinned
pine plantations near Heywood in SW Victoria. It was obviously wild, not a
recent escapee.  (I have seen a recent escapee near Melbourne, and it was
tame.) This species is feral in pines in Europe, so I wonder if the same
could be true here.  Any comment?  Thanks,  Richard.
