| Note |
The rev. is described as ‘Peacock r.; above, inverted, eagle, r.’, following standard descriptions but the ‘eagle’ has long tail feathers, its beak is not hooked (expected given the reasonable representation of the peacock) and it is walking like some sort of pheasant (trailing one leg), rather than an eagle (which doesn’t walk.) Thus ‘pheasant’ is probably a better description (Ornithological information from Prof. John Knowler, Glasgow).
