Amazement



This is not what one expects to see when washing up after dinner.

Why, yes, that IS a peacock strolling down the lane.
He took a turn into our side garden, and hopped up on the game larder shed, before heading into the stableyard next door. Wow. And double wow!

Oooh They are beautiful but oi are they horrible to have in your neighborhood. They sound like a little child yelling help help! It's so bad! It took me forever to get used to it when we had some next door!

How exciting! But I agree with Sorka, the noise can be rather much. A friend sometimes gets them on her roof and says they sound as if they are walking in hobnail boots!

oh my.... that would be quite the shock. Where did he come from? Does The Lord Of The Manor have a new pet, by any chance?

Those birds are so beautiful. My sister used to have wild peacocks in her old neighborhood and it was just so weird to see. I expect to see them in the zoo, not walking down the lane!

I wonder if it scared the chickens off? I've simply got to send you some chicken trap plans so that you can nab one. Worth L100 on the claw, my estimate.
