In an earlier post I wrote about the day I caught a peacock challenging his reflection in our bedroom balcony door to a duel. Yesterday Marius was being domestic in the kitchen (we don't have a live-in maid) when he spotted this young peahen admiring herself:
He took these shots through the kitchen window and across the street, so they are a little fuzzy. I asked him to, quickly before the peahen went away, so I could show you. See I am always thinking of your entertainment.
This is another picture (which I took with my telephone) through our kitchen window in May:
Luckily there was no damage done, and he didn't disturb Floyd, who is asleep at the back end of the car.
Floyd's favourite spot:

Visiting peacocks - how exotic;-) Who would have come off worst in an encounter - Floyd or the peacock?
Peacocks have big talons - if they were defending themselves or a chick, I think Floyd would be in trouble. Peacocks can run pretty fast but they are clumsy and ungainly, so a running cat could probably escape. Generally the cats are quite wary of the peacocks.
Wow - peacocks. I think I would find it a bit scary if one came to visit unexpectedly!

Specially when hearing about the big talons! :)
Greata shots! We had a ridgeback who challenged herself one morning - she charged at the mirror so earnestly she smashed it ... but she really looked smug that she had scared teh intruder off.
