Peacocks visit the village

The mysterious friendly resident peacocks still provide the subject of conversation for many residents.  This week (Mon 23rd August) they were seen in York Road again.

Have you seen them?  Do you know about them?  Please let me know by dropping me an email.

Visitor Comments:-

'Our garden is regularly visited by the local family of Peacock’s. Most recently we have been seeing a lot of the two young males who seem to have gained independence from their mother and left their sister to roost with three little babies. They are a year old and are Indian Blue Peackocks, they have been spending whole days wandering around outside our conservatory in the sun and seem to enjoy the constant supply of seed we leave out. There is also ‘Big Daddy Peacock’ who’s tail is far more developed and who likes to show it off to the residents of the Abbeyfield home, Pike Way, near Rough-Tally’s wood.

My family and I find them very tame and sweet natured – they groom, and even blink, in unison. We have watched them grow from fluffy chicks and feel quite attached to them.'

Editor's comment: Thanks Nick for the lovely photographs (seen above) and for the information.  Peacocks are still the subject of much conversation in the village.

'Just over a week ago i was caught in a queue of slow moving traffic through the village, when reaching the kings head i realised why, strolling along without a care in the world were the two now locally famous peacocks, i couldnt help but raise a smile. I quite like them being here but just hope for their own safety they learn to use the pedestrian crossing!!! '
