New prints...Pheasant

I stayed up until 1am to finish carving the Lino but I'm glad I did as managed to go to the studio (John Howard's in Penryn) and print my first few prints. I chose a very deep red as I think the bird looks very proud, with elements of warrior symbolism-can you tell I watched the All Blacks at the weekend? I'm pleased with how the detail of the smaller feathers printed as they took ages to carve. Which bird or animal shall I do next? Any suggestions?
