The same two woodpigeons (Columba palumbus) seen in Image As can be seen they're having a bit of a set-to, presumably a courtship activity, but it seems a little late in the year. Perhaps they've just got a bit of extra exuberance as the sun has finally decided to appear after four months of almost unremitting rain and gloom !
