We were hoping for a tail display by the Peacocks at Riverstone on our recent visit but I think it was to hot for them to be bothered. This one found a nice cool retreat and was happy to pose for a photo.

If no females around then the "fan" remains closed I suppose. Good find and capture.

They are beautiful even with the tail feathers (fan) not showing off LE.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

That this bird did not strut its' stuff for you actually resulted in a more unique photo...not every day you see one in this setting and so close...so a great shot, Lyn.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

I was actually thinking how it was nice to see one doing something other than filling out its fan. From the closed eyes I can tell it's completely at ease... a good time for a portrait.
