Despite the background this is still very nice. I love the poses of the two birds.

I really like the pair here! The crowns really make for a unique looking bird. Did you happen to get any photos of the oof Peacock?

Thanks guys.

Laura: I missed the other peacock (they were free ranging) showing off its plumage, need to practise disengaging the camera from the ballhead faster.

Maybe better luck another days.
