Forgot to post this a week or so ago !
I was returning from one of my walks to find our friendly village peacock in my next door neighbours front garden 😁
He has now lost his magnificent tail feathers but still a handsome boy!
Misty the cat however is a little unsure and keeps a safe distance 🤣
Great photo! I wonder what happened to his tail feathers.
As a photographer, I’ve stalked quite a few peacocks to try and get good photos of them! 😊
He's quite a friendly chap , he just wonders around the village strutting his stuff... Not really afraid of anyone 😁
They loose their tail feathers at the end of the mating season... But will grow back next year 😊
Ah I didn’t know that! 😊
Neither did i ....I just googled it 🤣
Huh! Learned something new as well. what a pic!
Yes, he was happy to pose 😁
Lovely photo of that peacock Ian, at one of the parkruns I go to there is a peacock sanctuary, it's in Pittencrieff Park Dunfermline, sometimes when I take a walk on a Friday or run on a Saturday I see a peacock or hear one calling out probably for a mate, the nearby restaurant is called Peacock Restaurant, that's the same place that after parkrun the runners take coffee or cake and the volunteers process the parkrun results.
Thanks Alan, yes I think you have mentioned this parkrun previously 🙂👍
What a beautiful bird to see on your walks out. Misty is wise
Yes, it's quite a sight...And yes, misty is very unsure 😁
I don't like the look Mr Peacock is giving you.🥺
Haha, yes, .. now you mention it 🤣
What a beautiful site.
He is !
Just seen him this morning also walking along the main road towards our local shop (well, they do sell bird food 😁)
Season's Greetings to our lovely walkers! 😍
