I never get used to the sad cry of the peacocks at Knossos, no matter how many times I visit. The haunting "mow, mow" echoes through the Bronze Age Minoan Palace like a child lost
The fact that they live at Knossos is no surprise - for they have lived there for centuries. Even the Minoan wall painting of the Prince of Lilies (dated 1600-1500 BC.) features his diadem decorated with lilies and adorned with peacock feathers
This peacock was not keen to be photographed, so very serenely turned and walked the other way....
....majestically!
