The Piebald Pigeon

I was out early today, and had a couple of hours to kill while waiting for my car to be serviced. The early rain eventually gave way to some warm sunshine. During my wanderings on the outskirts of Uckfield I came across a small flock of pigeons, one of which was a beautiful piebald.
