Peacock spotted wandering around woodland near Prudhoe

A peacock has been spotted wondering in woodlands close to a Northumberland town - and local residents are keen to ensure it gets home safely.

Peacocks are not native to the UK, meaning the bird spotted near Prudhoe is likely to have escaped from captivity somewhere nearby.

While they are known to wander, the birds can easily fall victim to a hungry fox if they are not kept in a secure location.
