Peacock

From yesterdays POTN visit to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. I say him displaying several times during the day, but always had my hands full feeding my face. I wondered how well the camera could capture the iridescent colours of the feathers but it seemed to have coped well enough.

None of its backside, Greg?

The detail is just superb in the last one.

beautiful greg!

I so wanted to get pictures of this beautiful bird in India but they are very skittish in the wild and dont let you get close enough. I suppose captive ones are better photo subjects. The feather shot is very nice.
Anyone have a picture of a peacock displaying its feathers during a mating dance, please share it with us. Thanks.

Love number 3
The guy looks well built.

Thanks Nick, I saw the shot but in the interests of improving my poor taste declined to take it.

This guy was wandering around the park. Every now and then he would display - usually to a crowd of point & shoots.
