I think its a real shame that poor old peacocks never get the arty b&w treatment they deserve. Always the oversaturated-velvia-in-your-face ott thing.

So, for peacocks all over the UK here's one just for you, in recognition of your contribution to (colour) photography over many decades.

1DsMk2, 70-200@ 200mm, f4.5 1/125, iso 160, handheld.
Post - CS3, desaturated, contrast tweak, cropped.

I like it John, very graphic. So much so that without your description it would have had me stumped for a while.
