The picturesque village of Thimbleby hit the headlines in 2016 when a local peacock called Pat was apparently 'murdered' after he vanished suddenly. Residents claimed to have seen the culprit shine a torch into the bird's favourite tree and heard rifle shots before discovering feathers at the bottom of his roosting spot the next morning. The peacock's body had disappeared. Pat was described as a 'noisy blighter' who was nevertheless 'adored' by villagers, who would feed him in their gardens.
