hey mr.peacock put your feathers on

in Cataract Gorge Reserve, Launceston, I saw this proud peacock with a magnificent fan, striding around cockily, posing for photos effortlessly, knowing very well that he had the most beautiful feathers in Tasmania. He never opened his fan fully, but stayed close enough for me to make the most of his majesty's presence.
