And finally from Blackbrook...
In spite of the resident feline, there were peacocks and peahens wandering round freely, ambling down pathways and dropping in to socialise with other animals.
This one stopped to show off his finery, desperate to impress his lady friend.
Whereas this white peacock was rather more shy, sidling around us, never coming too close...
but wanting a nosey just the same.
I love the peafowl there!
ReplyDeleteSorry to make your boys so envious! I know I am lucky to have grown up there and to have so much wonderful scenery around!
They are the kind of birds which make you wonder whether evolution was really a joke after all. Splendid photographs (but they always are)
ReplyDeleteYou did well to catch the one with his feathers up. They always seem to turn their backs as soon as they see my camera!
ReplyDeleteSo regal and proud, lovely birds, aren't they just amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a long time, H! I hope all has been well on your side of the pond. I have been living in a whirlwind lately...little computer time. I wanted to come by and say "hello" while I had the chance! I enjoyed your peacock photos--they are such amazing birds!
ReplyDeleteExcellent Photography of a beautiful bird!
ReplyDeletePeacocks fascinate me and those are amazing pictures you captured! Thanks for sharing. ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Photos today...
ReplyDeleteI have never care for Peacocks. Not sure why but just not my favorite bird.
A few years ago I read that many people think the feathers were not good luck and will not have them in their homes.
I adore the way the white Peacock looks. Very beautiful. Is it a female or a male ?
That said, I loved the way the Peacocks were designed in the movie Kung Fu Panda 2... outstanding.

When we visited last year we saw a female peacock with several young ones. One of the males was hopping from table to table in the outisde cafe area pinching the unwanted food left on abandoned plates. They are very beautiful birds but as with swans, I'm always a bit wary of them:)
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of your peacock photo with those beautifully spread tail feathers!
ReplyDeleteamazing creatures! so showy!
