Four woodpigeons have been behaving rather erratically in and around our garden recently - I assume that they are courting, but as it is nearly August this seems a bit late in the year. This fellow is seen resting on the roof after a bout of bonkers behaviour - keeping away from two others that were still flapping about at each other (see Image] and Image])
