A Day at the Zoo 12: And my Friend said to the Peacock…


“Come on, display your train!” and whoosh he went. It was the most perfect timing and well, the saying “proud as a peacock” doesn’t come from nowhere.

Look at the sheer fucking size of this.

Taking the pics I was faced with the difficult decision between getting the full train and the bird in the middle still being visible…

Apparently the goats thought it might be some tasty snack. Although they finally got to feed in peace as Mr Look At Me was otherwise occupied.

    Oh my! How incredible. I love the first shot. The colours and textures are amazing, but I see your dilemma. It’s the wide shots that give a sense of scale, but the close-ups that show off those amazing feathers. Off hand I’d say you got lucky that he posed so perfectly for you.

    Fine pictures and there’s a a progression from the showy and eye-catching to a wider view and the last one is hilarious.

    The first shot is gorgeous and the last one is hilarious.

    A few weeks ago I was driving home and had to stop the car because a peacock was crossing the road. It was a bit puzzling. Sadly he didn’t display his train.
