I've just looked that up. It lead to "Booties" and then onto a porno site.

A pheasant ran out in front of my car in leafy North Yorkshire and damaged the grille after I clouted it at about 30mph.
Damaged the pheasant, too, but they are a hazard to road users in parts of the countryside where there is a shoot nearby.

Well, thanks all, would never have thought of that. 
Not really surprising that google images couldn't find "blue container in field on legs", but try "pheasant feeder" and there they are.
@User9609 location is just outside Alnwick near Rennington, there must be about 10 (that I could see) near the road towards Seahouses.

I think the Duke of Northumberland has some land round here for that purpose.
There is a road that is a short cut to Powburn, from the top of Alnwick moor, where the pheasants like to perch on top of the wall next to the road, waiting for any unsuspecting driver / cyclist to come along.
I just found this LINK which explains it a bit more and why they are placed where they are.

The Duke has a mixed relationship with the locals.
He's locked horns a few times with them over plans to build loads of new houses on the outskirts of several villages - good coin in that, of course.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
We always have thousands of pheasants around here. When tne shooting season starts, it is nigh on impossible not to hit at least 1. They are a hazard on the roads expecially down quiet country lanes. Lots escape the hunt, they in turn breed, and then we have more of the dam things released.

Quite. @Markymark has lots on his land for just that purpose. Only way to maintain a flow of lackeys......
