Flocking Pigeons

By Words | Published August 29, 2010

We had sunshine today… well for most of the day. I was unlucky. It was sunny when I went out and sunny when I came home. In between a torrent of rain swept over the Downs. Needless to say most sensible creatures were seeking shelter, but in between the cloud bursts the local pigeons put on quite a display. You can click all of these to see larger versions.

One bright note… if the sun had been out I would have been aiming directly into it! Some other garden updates will have to wait until tomorrow.

    They certainly put on a good display, which made it very easy.

    Darko, thanks. The last shot was under-exposed but it had a good effect.

    That's quite a crowd.

    Today it's beautifully sunny but it's the village fete, and there's people everywhere :left: :right: :yikes:

    Adele, they really shouldn't allow people at fêtes! It's not right :insane:
