A wild peahen chase in Sutton and Morden has ended peacefully after a group of residents snared the elusive bird.
After several weeks on the run, the majestic creature, which had been strutting around Sutton and Merton, has finally been returned to a Hobbledown children's farm in Epsom.
Not a bird renowned for its shyness, the peahen had been game enough to be caught on camera more than once by members of the public, who sent us in a selection of pictures.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) said it was "very unusual" to see such a bird in suburban London, but there is no suggestion of fowl play.
