Show-off and shy peacocks at Pendley Manor


I went with friends on Friday to Pendley Manor in Tring, where we were having dinner and an over-night stay.  The first thing I saw when we approached the hotel at lunchtime was this magnificent peacock standing on a tall stone urn and showing off his feathers, which were dangling almost all the way down to the ground.

What a handsome bird - and the colour of his head and neck is amazing.

After lunch I wandered round the grounds and came across an incredibly shy white peacock.  I don't know why he had to hide under the table.

He was just playing hard to get.  Fortunately, later on I had a chance to see a lot more of him.  I hope to post more photos later.
