A keen photographer to stay for the weekend and, ever on the lookout to enhance my B&B status, I arranged a trip to Nuneham to see the bluebells and the peacocks........
The bluebells did their thing, first there were a few..
with the numbers gradually increasing in density,
until there were pools of blue vividly complimented by the lime green of early leaves, pouring down the slopes in gentle waves - every so often punctated by a cluster of campion or stitchwort.
And around a corner, like a living statue, the first of a succession of peacocks...
All posing and posturing - the photographer thought he had died and gone to heaven.
All strut and screech and shake and quiver......
and all to no avail. Apparently all the peahens were taken by the fox and sheer frustration drives the males to desperate posturing before any camera - where will it all end - Nuneham said they have no plans to replace the females as yet.
