Bill, I am very glad to see that the pheasant has arrived to you safely. Your photographs really bring out the little details that I notice tend to be lacking in other examples of this bird that I have seen. Good to know that he'll have an appreciative home in Schloss Warda and do enjoy!
Thanks for your compliments on the chamois. You're right in that they do seem to be one of the more iconic German animals in the region's artistic creations. I'm also quite fond of ibexes, and have a couple examples that will post eventually.
Regards,
T.
