Stopover

On a wet and miserable day, one very smart looking Racing Feral Pigeon not looking too dissimilar to its wild ancestor the Rock Dove, but differing in having 3 heavy lines of black barring on its back; stopped over briefly this afternoon at 2.30pm in the rain this afternoon. It fed on the patio just outside the back door, both the Pigeon's legs had 3 sets of rings betraying its origins.
