They call this a stretch of the wings to cool in the heat.
Pity that I couldn't get him clear, but it happened in a moment and he was moving in the sun.
But it doesn't matter as I got them clear in the rest of the photos.
We were on our way to the open air restaurant on a farm for a cup of their tasty home made coffee. I think that I am becoming addicted to it :)
We also saw some new developments in the public visitors area and I will wait until it's complete to show you lovely new attractions.
Any case let's watch the Peacocks.
As we drove past the pear orchards, this couple of males appeared.
I call it synchronized foraging as they were perfectly in step.
The one decided to lay down for a rest in the sun, as it was dark under the pear trees in the orchard.
Keeping an eye on our car as I took the shots.
The other guy saw my camera and he jealously stepped in front of the resting one to pose for his photo.
Then the cheeky bugger approached us, Hey, he said, why are you only taking photos of Olly?, I am Solly and look how beautiful I am.
As usual we were near the mountains.
Wonderful to go out to the farms as there is always something going on and I really look forward to our visits. Any short break is great to reduce and manage the stresses that we have to endure in our charity work, as normally it consists of an avalanche of moans and groans.
That's why I don't chat much on hive, as my posts offer me the chance to step away from everything for a short while.
Poor Marian sits anchored at her PC at certain times of our days, as currently she has 317 students to lecture and this makes these short breaks so much more valuable for us.
We are also in the dwang with the Papillon income, but I just continue to plug away here in hive, as it might be a real saver to our charity projects.
We hope that you have enjoyed the post.
And That's All Friends.

I can't remember to ever have seen the wings of a peacock. The tail yes, but never flying or spread their wings. They are beautiful birds though and even if no bird would know that it's beautiful, the peacock would.
Cheers with !PIZZA and !BEER or !WINE

Thank you and I think that you might have seen this one before.
It was a peacock that claimed Marian as his own at the Drakensberg.
Just thought to show you an open winged Peacock 😉 !LOLZ
Cheers and thanks.

Good evening Zac,
yep, that's how I know them, but I can't remember to have seen one flying, although I am not sure if they really can fly far distances.
You're most welcome, Zac 😀
Cheers with !PIZZA and !BEER

Oh yes, they cannot fly long distances as their bodies are too heavy, but they can effectively lift themselves up into trees and onto roofs. Especially when there are dogs around 🦅
Cheers and thanks.
I think I could also fly a little bit if an angry dog was running up to me 😁
Cheers with !PIZZA and !BEER
!invest_vote
Hahaha, now I will not fall in your trap here by saying that with my big ears I will fly higher than you if an angry dog chases me 🤣
Cheers and thanks.
Of course you don't fall, I knew that before 😁 that reminds me on Dumbo from the other conversation 🤣
Do you prefer your !PIZZA with !BEER or with !WINE ?

Solly seems to be a bit egotistical LOL
Peacocks are such beautiful birds but they can be territorial at times, there was some near when I grew up and they were downright ornery at times
Hahaha, thank you JJ and yes, it's like the mountain goat @johannpiber said below. Peacocks know that they are beautiful. Egoistical is indeed a good way to describe them 😊

Peacocks always stand their ground, Solly came over to chase you from his patch!
Image the beauty within each feather, we look at the overall bird never taking it into though the inner markings that allow one spectacular display.

Peacock and Egyptian Goose appearing more frequently in many places one visits, both stunning feathers neither scared of humans.
Have a great day!
Some of the female peacocks eat out of Marian's hand and of course you know Harry and Sally.
They are on holiday and we expect them back when summer ends.
Hope that you also had a good day my friend.

Hahaha, yes, that little cheeky is a real pleasure to watch at work and I was always so sad to see him losing his colors and tail at the end of the season.

We have been fortunate this is the second or third year with pin-tailed whydah. Also seeing other smaller birds visit more often than previous years.

Beautiful pictures @papilloncharity , as always, God is truly a magnificent artist, those birds are absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you milady and yes there is so much about God that we do not know.
But then again, all that we really need to know is that He loves creation and He loves us undeserving souls.

I always love peacocks
So do we as they are beautiful.
Lol seems everyone want the limelight!
Hahaha, sounds very similar to the human situation methinks.
Not for us old school types though, we know how to shun the limelight.
