Peacock

It was Christmas Eve, cold and a bit of a breeze, not the time of year I like. The idea was to see if there was something worth photopraphing and nothing was seen for me to take the effort. Until this bird was noticed. I am not an Ornithologist so birds have feathers and fly or float as far as I'm concerned. Unless it is something out of the ordinary and this was.

The walk was in a place visited before in Pampona where I got a shot of a deer under a tree. It is a very large park and a long way from where I was bunking up.

I have never seen a such a thing before and managed to take this shot. Maybe I should have zoomed up a little, but didn't. First of all I did not know what kind of creature it was. Some research was needed after returning to where I was staying, so typed in colorful birds.

A young Peacock

There was a larger one, with much longer tail feathers, sitting on a fence nearby and I reckon that it was this one's father.

I'll just call him Junior
