Pride and prejudice: roaming peacocks split opinion in village
The Guardian
|June 14, 2025
In a small town there are many things that cause neighbours to argue: political differences, disagreements over hedges, disputes about who will be Santa Claus.
In east Staffordshire, however, a village has been divided over something more unusual. For 25 years Tutbury has been home to a growing pride of peacocks and hens which, some residents say, destroy crops, leave large amounts of mess and whose distinctive calls can be heard at all hours of the day and night.
George, who owns a patch of land in the village's allotments where crops are fortified in order to avoid being ransacked by the peacocks, said the birds are like "Marmite" in the village. "The people who love them really love them, and the people that hate them really hate them," he said.

'A serious list of winners' Anderson's epic captures the current febrile mood
Now that the political scene in the contemporary United States looks like an unending string of military PR coups for the Trumpian right at home and abroad, it's appropriate that Paul Thomas Anderson's spectacular, mysterious counterculture epic One Battle After Another - with Leonardo DiCaprio as a clueless, dishevelled ex-revolutionary should consolidate its current position as one of the leading movies of this awards season: winning four Golden Globes including best musical or comedy and best director for Anderson whose fluency, productivity and pure technique and ambition are arguably making him America's pre-eminent film-maker. The excellent Teyana Taylor got best supporting actress.
