I was wandering around the grounds of Pendley Manor on Friday afternoon and was thrilled to see a brightly coloured peacock in full display mode. I was on the other side of an old set of tennis courts at the time and could see that he was in front of a small shed and something covered with netting.

He pranced round for a while, showing off his amazing set of beautiful feathers.

He danced round and round and below is a side view of him. He had fantastic soft cloud-like feathers at the top of his back.

It was an amazing display, but I was a bit disappointed with the location as the cage covered in netting did not look very attractive and even had a "Danger Keep Out" sign attached to it.

I tried to get nearer and slowly approached him across the old tennis courts. He did not like it and put his feathers away!

Then he walked off and I had a look inside the cage. Just behind his display area there was a peahen sitting at the top of a tree branch and looking out at me.

In fact, there were 4 peahens inside the cage, including 1 white one.

No doubt they were being kept in there for their own good!
