Stop That Pigeon ...

The common wood pigeon is a large species in the dove and pigeon family, which is increasingly common here in the UK.

Much to the annoyance of our two dogs, particularly the younger one, they are frequent visitors to our garden, which is where I took this shot last August.

Sounds like an episode of "Last Of The Summer Wine" My brother actually did raise pigeons until he moved on to horses.

He could never figure out how to saddle a pigeon! He had fan tailed ones, rollers, homing, and plain old barn pigeons.
