Now due to lack of patience waiting to get bird shots its a tag I may not use too much or join the Friday challenge often, but I looked through my photo folders and found a few shots so I could join this week

This is, of course, a peacock and was taken on a visit to the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport CT, I think, when we took our grandson there, and preparing this posts reminds me its been too long since I visited a Zoo and I must try and visit one this summer
I actually went way back in my photos to find these shots, I noticed it was taken back when I had a Pentax K5 in 2011.

The Peacock seeed to be posing for a profile shot so I took this one, peacocks are such beautiful birds, but perhaps more so for their beautiful tail feathers rather than clos ein like this.

And speaking of the beautiful feathers I got this clos ein shot also to share with you, when you think about it nature is pretty amazing with the eye like pattersn and how a Peacock can open up its tail to make it llook a larger and more intimidating than it looks with its tail down
unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

Such fun pictures @tattoodjay. Peacocks are so amazing. Have you heard their cry? It is so mournful, when you hear it they sound so lonely. But quite a beautiful bird :)
Ohh yes I have heard there cry, often woke to it actually as there were a few that used to walk around the area where I grew up , MOurnful is a good word for it, Annoying also works when it is an unwanted alarm clock
Great shots @tattoodjay I haven't been to a zoo in several years. Maybe this summer...
We should both remind each other in Summer to make sure we do, I think I said the same last winter lOL
Wonderful photos of an extraordinary creature.
Thanks they are so beautiful
So beautiful.
It reminds me of my grandma who had peacock blanket in her room and I always loved staring at the gorgeous colors and design which is almost like looking at art. Absolutely gorgeous birds.
Thank you for sharing @tattoodjay
Its always cool when a photo or post triggers nice memories, thanks for sharing that
Always thought an exquisite bird
Me to, when I grew up was in a rural area, and there was some wild ones that would wonder around the neighborhood
wow, they really are very beautiful. The wild ones are the enemies of farmers though because they tend to destroy the crops. I have seen them in a zoo but sometimes did happen to hear the cry of a wild bird, not seen it.
Beautiful photos
Thanks and when I was growing up was in a rural area and we had some wild ones wandering around, I wonder if they bothered the nearby farmers I guess they did

Such gorgeous colours on these birds! We have one that lives in Newstead Abbey near to where I live nad he makes a right old racket haha Fantastic pictures Jay!
Keith is an amazing photographer, I have only recently found his photos on whaleshares, but they are stunning too!
Ohh Yes I love Keiths work, he is amazing and inspiring, and yes they are beautiful but can be so noisy we had a couple of Peacocks that used to walk around the neighbourhood where I grew up and they could be so noisy for sure
Beautiful captures!
These birds are so vibrant & elegant. Definitely one of the best looking birds in my book. Thanks for sharing & Steem on :)
Thanks Mate, I must try and get some more recent bird images :)
