A Peahen clucking around the grounds at the end of the road festival. All the Peacocks were hiding up on the roof of the house, the ladies were the only brave ones.

I just spent half an hour out in the garden photographing lifeless snails and I found this brave guy. He didn’t shy away or even put his horns in when I picked him up and he was doing all sorts of stunts. He took a bite from a spider though, which I don’t think was [...]
