These peacocks are not different than other peacocks, just that they are found in plenty at Morachi Chincholi [मोराची चिंचोली], a 50 km drive from Pune city. Unfortunately, I could neither make it early morning, nor late evening that are considered the best times for seeing peacocks. However, I saw many peacocks at about 3 in the afternoon also!
Well, I'm not rich enough to afford a 600+ mm lens currently. So the photographs are not great close-ups. But I've tried my best. I'd love to read your comments. And yes, don't forget to note the very special appearance of a peahen also, because peacocks are not complete without peahens, just as men are incomplete without women. Of course, women are as equally incomplete without men, but let's leave it here, and enjoy the pictures of the Indian Logo…

Long-tailed Shrike
Peacocks are wonderful birds :)
ReplyDeleteHey, the pics are great!!! i have wanted to go there for a long time... but havent been able to yet... isnt there some place to stay there? can u get me the details??
ReplyDeleteI agree Babzy :)
ReplyDeleteHello Anu,
The nearest place to stay I would suggest is Pune only. It's only about 50 kms. from Pune. So one can start before dawn in Pune to reach well early to see the show.
You did it perfectly Bhavesh:)
ReplyDeleteThey are such beautiful and proud birds, aren't they?
Greetings:)
Yes, they are; the king of Indian birds :) Greetings to you too Joo.
ReplyDeletethey are so beautiful
ReplyDeleteStunning images! Nice of you to include the peahen with her understated beauty.
ReplyDeletewow awesome ya..
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots..thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteProud and beautifull bird!
ReplyDeleteBonne journée Bhavesh.
Very nice shots...
ReplyDeletemy daughter loves peacocks, can't wait to show her these!
:)
I must say the peahen stole my heart, despite her drab appearance in comparison with the splendid males.
ReplyDeleteBe glad you cannot afford that 600mm lens yet; I like the depth of field on these photographs best, and the way you maximize the image by careful composition.
Unbelievable. Hats off to you for your brilliant photography. I am stunned to see such beautiful pictures of our national bird. You have taken marvellous shots of peacock which is very very rare indeed difficult to take.
ReplyDeleteThese peacocks are matching so well the nature around!
ReplyDeleteNice shots. You truly got your models there.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent photos, with the garb and beauty of the royal (real) turkey.
ReplyDeleteRegards.
I think this is one of the most beautiful birds you photographed! You caught him with all his feathers out too- Fantastic! I love your snap shots..(I just have a sony cybershot) and not super zoom..but aside from the equipment, I think there is something about shooting the photos where you just get lost in there (for me its generally my yard) then magnify your surroundings. Isn't there always a surpise? I did leave a comment to your last post (thanks) and I'm enjoying your images from your world. I also like the fact you put your words in for the meaning- the letters/writing are really cool- Hope you have a great day- Regina
ReplyDelete(I meant my post) Also..I like the top with that salmon hue of the grasses with the rich blue of the bird- (ha, now I'm finished)
ReplyDeleteA positively perfect presentation of peacocks proudly prancing - showing their stuff. Great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
These are incredible shots of the peacocks. They are beautiful. You did a super job with the camera you have.
ReplyDeleteBhavesh your pictures make me so happy. These are just beautiful! I love them!
ReplyDeletecelestial images! a pleasure for all senses, come to your place and enjoy everything that you post ... the best art! I leave a kiss for you.
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing shot Bhavesh, the peacock is as such beautiful & you have done such a great job.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
I always say And will always say:
ReplyDeleteGod - The best finest artist.
And thanks for sharing.
Hi Kilauea,
ReplyDeleteYes, there's always a surprise, at least one. Sometimes, I find so many that I get lost in the photographs I took when I was lost :)
And, I read your reply on your last post :)
I'm so much happy to see all your comments dear friends.
ReplyDeleteAll the photographs are beautiful. They are so colourful. Second photo is a close-up! Nice. I have never heard about this place, till date. Thank you for the information.
ReplyDeleteI love those birds, they're so colorful. great photos.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job capturing the peacocks. They're such beautiful birds. And I like that you captured a peahen, too. Even if they're not as showy, they're just as important to the species!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures. They are beauty with those lovely colors.
ReplyDeleteVisit Ranakpur, the temple town

Believe it or not, we have peacocks here in Southern California, a farm not far from here, but they are not so vibrant in color. Wonder why. Thanks for sharing, such beautiful shots!

ReplyDeleteThey are incredible subjects to photograph!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed this post, but I love your pictures. Have you ever seen the all white ones? Both are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYes Kitty, I've seen one in my childhood, but sadly, in a zoo :(
ReplyDeleteMorachi Chincholi is very interesting place!
ReplyDeleteIndeed :)
DeletePeacocks are such beautiful show-offs. I rarely see them here.
