Racing pigeon

A racing pigeon came to rest with us here in rural Worcestershire, UK, for a few days last week. It hung around by our tiny pond and (almost) took seed from our hands, as well as the bird feeders, and roosted on our roof at night before flying back home (we presume).

We don't normally see common pigeons here, only wood pigeons, so this was a novelty!

Silly wee thing!

We were out walking yesterday and came across a yearling doe with her first fawn.

Mum saw us, panicked and jumped that fence to put distance between us, leaving the little one confused and scared as it couldn't get through or over.



Thankfully, the fawn eventually realised that there was a gate a bit further up the fence with wide enough crossbars to get through and mother and fawn were eventually re-united.
