Magnificent Peacock Display.
A red letter day for me. I have never before seen or been able to capture a peacock displaying his array of feathers.
This peacock was displaying to impress his harem of peahens, of which he had several.
This one lived on the Welsh farm where I stayed for a long weekend and hey presto, this was the result. He was magnificent and I count myself very lucky indeed to have seen this at such close quarters.
No way, could I persuade this guy to display! He just looked at me. Oh and unusually for me, apart from the crop, it's off the camera, no photoshop shenanigans :-(
A little different angle : )
Not as sharp as I wanted (Handheld)....But I thought it turned out alright.

Rooster/Pelican/Peacock
A proud peacock happy to be living and breathing on a day with cold air and warm sun. Check-out my head feathers. We are looking good today!
Peacocks are large, colorful pheasants (typically blue and green) known for their iridescent tails. These tail feathers, or coverts, spread out in a distinctive train that is more than 60 percent of the bird’s total body length and boast colorful "eye" markings of blue, gold, red, and other hues. The large train is used in mating rituals and courtship displays. It can be arched into a magnificent fan that reaches across the bird's back and touches the ground on either side. Females are believed to choose their mates according to the size, color, and quality of these outrageous feather trains.

Archive shot I love this one ... the peacock feather is bang on trend right now!
Why not try 'On black' it really brings the texture out
Green peacocks are endangered, blue peacocks are not endangered. The female has very vibrant colors similar to the male. This was my first opportunity to photograph peacock with full feather display.
