Temmincks tragopan ([i]Tragopan temminckii[/i]) male and female at Chester Zoo.
Apologies for the quality of the photographs, but I thought them worth posting as even the keepers are having a hard time seeing these guys at the moment.

Apologies for the quality of the photographs (one in a bush, one in a horrible patch of sunlight), but I thought them worth posting as even the keepers are having a hard time seeing these guys at the moment.

They're in the second aviary (the old snowy owl aviary) to the south of the Cabot's.
As they're a pair, statistically you're twice as likely to see one, but they're currently behaving like the Cabot's did when he first arrived, so notoriously difficult to spot. At least with this aviary, although technically there isn't a path you can walk along the side of it, so that provides another viewing dimension.

Ahh, interesting. I should have thought about hybridisation, but don't know too much about many birds and didn't know they'd fight. Are they related to Capercaillie? I think they have a reputation for fighting.
