A UNUSUAL site was spotted in Old Basing earlier this week - as a peacock made itself comfy on top of a house.

The colourful bird was sited at around 5.50pm on Tuesday, May 18, on Linden Avenue.

Resident Jordan Renault said: "I was in the kitchen at the time and my partner's daughter shouted 'Peackock!'

"I thought she was jesting, but of course she wasn't."

Jordan captured a quick video of the magestic creature, which he says stayed for around an hour before flying off.
