Etz Chaim Synagogue in Leeds has an unlikely new member. A few weeks ago, a peacock turned up at its premises and has been there ever since.

Rabbis and administrators have been feeding the bird, which sleeps in a tree in the car park and ventures out to take a closer look at visitors to the building.

The shul has contacted the RSPCA, nearby Harewood House, which has a bird garden, and the police but no one has reported a missing peacock.
