The bird stood up straight after realising all eyes were on him when he was spotted by passing photographer Martin Cook.
He managed to capture the brightly-coloured bird in all his glory, resembling a soldier during a passing out parade, a celebration of competition of army training.

Mr Cook, 45, said: “I was just watching the bird to begin with as it was stood up proudly.
“Then as soon as it saw another pheasant, it stood up to attention like he was in the army.
“Crowing to his friends, he reflected an aspect of self importance, looking pompous and proud.”
Mr Cook, a doctor, was enjoying a bank holiday stroll when he saw the pheasant on a farm in Sailsbury, Wiltshire, on Sunday.
Pheasants are widespread in the UK and are known for their excellent eyesight and hearing, helping them avoid predators.
