On my way to catch the train back to Lisbon from Sintra, I hear a deep call behind me.

Without recognizing the sound, I already had an idea of what it could be.

Retracing my steps, I find this beautiful Indian peafowl resting on a terracotta roof. Partially blending among the heavy ivy, its color depth feels incomparable
