Third time lucky

Third time lucky (Pavo cristatus)

They sat on the shed roof for so long I sort of stopped pressing the shutter, apart from odd clicks here and there. When suddenly one of them flew the short gap to the house... missed it.

Got ready for the next one.... didn't go, didn't go, stopped clicking..... went!!!

Got ready for number three, saw the signs... gotcha!!

Well done to get a flight shot Delia, very quick off the mark! Interesting to get peacock shots on BF, we don't see very many.
