Revisiting the peacocks

On our trip to the West Country we called in at Corsham Court, where I was at art college at the end of the 1960's. One of my vivid memories (at least one I'm prepared to admit to!) is of the peacocks strutting around the grounds with their piercing calls and amazing displays...and there they still were. I wasn't quite sure whether this one recognised in me a threat to its territory or a potential mate, but it quickly began this impressive courtship ritual.
