One for the pheasants

I suspect that I ought not admit that I sometimes read mX.    Be that as it may, I did happen to be glancing at a copy and there was a note about the Duke of Edinburgh being upset because he's had to give up shooting pheasants.
It seems that there's a risk that the shotgun recoil will dislodge the stent inserted in his artery after his recent heart scare. 
The article is here as well:

Haven't seen the anti-whaling activists taking the credit for this, but perhaps it's only a matter of time.
Is this a pheasant?  Google says it is, but I can't speak from personal knowledge!
