Residents used to spotting the odd bird coming into their garden have been given a bit of a shock after a spate of peacock sightings in Ottery.

One resident caught a snap of ‘Norma’, after she escaped her owners and got into a back garden in North Street on Sunday.

She was caught soon after, but there have been reports of other sightings across the town of the unusual bird.
