4am Wake Up Call!

As if I didn't have enough trouble sleeping already, for the last couple of days I've been woken up by some terrible screeching noises outside - not the usual dawn chorus of birdies at all. Got up to have a look to see what was going on and this is what I saw:



It's a peacock - or a peahen to be more precise! I've no idea where she came from because we can't think of anywhere close by that keeps them. I did report her to the SSPCA, but they said that unless she's distressed or injured then they wouldn't get ivolved. She doesn't seem to be either at the moment, and I thought it best not to say that if she wakens me again I'LL be distressed and she WILL be injured!! They've added the details to their database anyway, so if anyone reports a missing peacock, then at least they'll be able to say where she was sighted.

Lovely to see, but the novelty's worn off already so I hope she moves on again soon.
