Whos's a pretty boy.

    Today I was privilleged to have 2 peacocks show off their feathers to me. One was in the open and would only give me a side on view. This one was behind wire mesh and was quite happy to give me a full frontal.Unfortunately I couldnt fit him all in so his missing his legs. He's still pretty spectacular even though he is legless
    I have also noticed that in the few photos I managed to get of him his neck & breast feathers look green not blue, I dont know if this was because of the light shining through the roof or whether this was his natural colour.The peacock that I took a photo of outside certainly had a blue neck

      Very nice. Personally I like the fact you can see little but peacock. The color is probably due to the light as you said. I have seen hummingbirds change color with their angle to the sun. Great shot!

      Is this the bird we chased around the gardens in May?? Well done for getting him to show off for you today - stunning photo indeed!

      Nice shot. The "cropped" effect actually works quite well as there's no distractions from the beauty of this bird.
