PEACOCKS from an Island tourist hot spot have gone missing and the owners are appealing to residents to help bring them home.

Calbourne Water Mill has posted on Facebook that some of their prized peacocks have wandered away from the grounds seeking attention due to the lack of tourists.

A spokesperson said on Facebook: " We have had a few peacocks go for an adventure. This is because they aren't getting the usual attention they would have at this time of year.

"Please if you see them, call 01983 531227, and do not feed them as they will come back and may get hurt.

"We do not lock them up as we like them to be free, but we do feed them lots.

"We do apologise for any early wake-up calls you may have."
