Observation details
I was walking to get something out of the pantry when, on the water tank directly outside the window, I was absolutely astonished to see a plump little form sitting motionless! A Pigeon!!! I rushed to grab my camera, and the poor thing wasn't really moving around that much, so I bagged plenty of shots. If I had to guess, as I did at the time, I'd say it was a Racing Pigeon that'd had enough of the racing life and was now wandering free, but it was an immaculate wild-type bird so who knows? What a funny thing to see up here!
