I was looking in my archives today from 2017 and I came across this, not how it looks now though. There were green leaves and buds.
I love to see these majestic big birds.
There were quite a few of these Peacocks at Gisburn Park Hospital and now that is closed, I do hope these birds were re-located somewhere else.

Singing Ringing Tree - Panopticon
Burnley's Panopticon, 'Singing Ringing Tree', is a unique musical sculpture which overlooks Burnley from its position high above the town on Crown Point.
Constructed from pipes of galvanised steel stacked in layers, this Panopticon takes the form of a tree bending to the winds and harnesses the energy of those winds to produce a low, tuneful song. In June 2007, Singing Ringing Tree was named winner of a National Award for architectural excellence by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).
'Singing Ringing Tree' is close to the Dunnockshaw Millennium Wood, part of the Forest of Burnley reforestation programme, and links to the Pennine Bridleway and local walking routes. Many native tree and bird species are to be observed.
The site offers a spectacular panorama.

17.10.2017 Red October
On 16 October 2017, the combination of the powerful ex-hurricane Ophelia, wildfires in Portugal and Spain, and uplifting of desert dust from the Sahara all combined to varying degrees to turn the colour of the sky a deep brown and orange hue, and the Sun red, across England, Wales and parts of Scotland.
Ophelia originated in the Azores where it was a hurricane and as it tracked its way northwards it dragged in tropical air from the Sahara."
This meant dust from the Sahara was brought with it.
"The dust gets picked up into the air and goes high up into the atmosphere, and that dust has been dragged high up in the atmosphere above the UK.
The particles in the air cause blue light to scatter, leaving longer-wavelength red light to shine through.
The Met Office said the "vast majority" of the dust was as a result of forest fires in Iberia, which have sent debris into the air and that has been dragged north by Ophelia.
