I was lucky with that one.
Thank you for your comments, everyone.

After him, this guy was easy meat. I was sat quietly just watching the world go by and he landed about 20 feet in front of me and ended up in this small rock pool. He would stand there paddling both feet on the spot, stirring up the sand then stop an pick up anything edible that was swirling in the water

A bit busier than I like but there was something about the peacock's pose that appealed to me.

That 'look back' pose can be a killer and it is a shame the background is so busy. But what I really like is the full-length view of its plumage running down the terrace - you con't often get that so well caught!
