Peacocks.

I was at the palace gardens yesterday.

I heard that weird noise that peacocks make (thank you very much Lincoln Children's Zoo) and then suddenly, there he was, looking very beautiful (albeit slightly terrifying) strutting about... and I hid behind a bush to take a few photos (and so he couldn't attack me.)

And then I saw THESE girls and they all looked at me and started hurrying my direction and I panicked! I may or may not have screamed like a girl and ran away....
