..and a peacock in a red tree

[Janec]

We are getting 5 peacocks wandering in to our garden from a neighbouring property most days.
Thought I'd just share this picture of the white one against our very berried tree.
If anyone knows what this tree is I'd be grateful. I can't find it in any of my tree books. If it's not immediately obvious to somebody I'll have to get organised and post proper pictures of the leaves etc. It's a bit weird in that it keeps most of its leaves all winter and they drop when new ones appear in the spring.

[The Woodman]

One of the Cotoneasters, perhaps.

Looks like a Spindle Bush to me.

I'm with the woodman- from what I can see it's one of the tree Cotoneaster species.

Thanks everybody,
I've had a look in my book and I think you are right, it does look like a cotoneaster.
