An unusual visitor at Upper Clements Cottages!

We had an unusual visitor today - Pepe the peacock from Upper Clements Wildlife Park decided to drop in for a visit. Gary's brother, Eddie, is the manager of the wildlife park and last evening Pepe was sighted on the other side of the road so Eddie & wife Evelina picked him up and , before taking him back to the park, dropped in to visit us. I guess he liked it here and decided to come back today by himself! Here he is up on the railing of my clothesline deck.

What a tail - even when its not open!


You can't tell by this picture, but the colors are spectacular! He put on quite a show for our guests from the U.K. and their children. The children had never seen a peacock before, much less one up so close.

Eddie says that Pepe loves to show off at the park - we figure that since the park isn't open yet, he figured that he'd come here where he would have an audience - LOL!

The backside is quite spectacular too!

Pepe's so tame . . . Gary is petting him here.

Later in the day, we drove Pepe back home safe and sound. Hope he watches out for the cars if he comes back for another visit.

Another critter from Upper Clements Park. Eddie just got a delivery of a bunch of baby chicks - too cute!
