Peacocks have reclaimed the streets of Wales during coronavirus lockdown

  • 4 years ago
In Bangor, northwest Wales, peacocks have been captured roaming the usually busy high street.

As UK residents stay in their homes to prevent the spread of COVID-19, wildlife is adapting to life in newly deserted areas.

Jack Meehan, the filmer, told Newsflare: "This video was taken during a lockdown bike ride. I ended up riding past the main high street in Bangor and noticed tree peacocks wandering down the road.

"I have seen them before on the hillside or on someone's roof but not walking down the main road which is usually full of people and cars.

"It just looked so strange with a completely empty high street other than three stunning peacocks."

This magical footage was recorded on the morning of March 27.
