The bruisers return

The bruisers return (Pavo cristatus)

These guys obvious escape from a local 'big house' in the area and go wandering round the town.

They landed on the shed in my neighbour's garden and even at that distance they look huge.

I first saw them in the area about 2009.... then nothing until the summer of last year, then another visit in the autumn and again in December; so they're getting more regular.

Brilliant shot amongst all those twigs. They make a hell of a noise in Spring so if they come back you will certainly know about it. Cheers!

Know what you mean about Bruisers, the males can get aggressive during spring & summer.
When it looks like you may have three to contend with. The "Marx Bruisers" maybe Delia. Well taken & presented.
