Vetal Tekdi in Pune is home to a large number of peafowls. On weekends, we go there for nature trails and birding. We just enjoy our time with nature because I don't always get pictures of the birds. On my way home, I discovered this feather in a bush. Something shimmering drew my attention. I took a picture of it in the bright sun (untouched) and then didn't want to leave it behind, so I brought it home...for free.

Today's photo is a feather rather than a bird.
