The Peacock

Shot in the Gorge, We went in search of Wallabies but found the peacock instead. The peacock which comes from the peafowl family is well known for its brilliant tail feathers. The female or the Peahen is duller in comparison. It is mostly brown, with pale underparts and some green iridescence in the neck, and lacks the long upper tail feather coverts of the male. There is also a White Peacock but I haven't seen one yet.

I had to literally tip toe behind this one to get a good shot that too with an Iphone 3G.
