The peacock is the national bird of India. At night, they nested in the trees
outside my Jaipur guest house, emitting their plaintive cries. I seldom was
able to get a photograph of one - and never when one was dancing. I
almost didn't see this one. It was so well camouflaged by the trees.
I am participating in
and
this theme this week is green.

ReplyDeleteHow are things going with your new job, Jidhu? Did you have enough time at home in India?
DeleteGreat bird.
ReplyDeleteI expected to see so many more colorful birds in India but, aside from the peacock and and Indian Golden oriole, I saw mostly crows.
DeleteSuch a pretty shot.
ReplyDeleteHaving spent nine months of the past year and India, you'd think I would've gotten many more shots of peacocks.
DeleteThe peacock is a beautiful bird, great sighting!
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you the number of hours each evening. I would spend trying to catch one of them as they would lie home to roost in the trees around my Jaipur guest house. It was usually too late to get a very good picture. They were such heavy birds, they would drag the branches down when they landed.
DeleteThere are living a few over here as well in a kind of zoo in the city center. Will try to find a few images. Thank you for the inspiration. Please have a good Sunday.
ReplyDeleteZoos are the only other places I've ever seen peacocks -
Deleteexcept the grounds of some of the Southern plantations.
