This week I called in at Aldborough Hall Farm on the edge of Fairlop Plain and as I walked through the gate the resident peacock gave a magnificent display to the delights of the muster of peahens in the yard. However, one peahen was having none of it and appeared to be saying: "You don't impress me, mate!"
The first photograph is in full colour. For the second shot we have bleached out the background to black and white to allow the full glory of the peacock's display to shine through. (My thanks to David Debere for the work on the second shot.)
A group peacocks is a pride - but there is only one at the farm
