weasle 1,119 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Just looked out to see this,You cannot see from the picture but through binoculars it looks like a young pigeon about to leave the nest.Parent pigeon is flapping around either injured or pretending to be.If its not per tending it will be ferret food when the hawk has finished her feed.

CO CHISE 270 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 good pics, cracking birds one flew straight between me and a neighbor whilst talking the other wk, we were stood about 3ft from one another when it came over fence and flew at our knee level, you could feel the draft as it flew past and it was that fast if you'd of blinked you'd of mist it and probably broke one of our legs if it had hit one of us Quote Link to post Share on other sites

weasle 1,119 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 great pics mate but i bloody hate them things i think they need numbers controlled just my opinion tho -billy A lot do think that,maybe rightly so,Fine line though between control and persecution.Yes paulas see that one alot and seen plenty of evidence of other pigeons shes caught,First time Ive seen her in action though. Always makes my day to see them to be honest especially in a car when they flip over the hedge in front of you before flipping back over a couple of 100 yards further down,You really appreciate then just how fast they travel. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

weasle 1,119 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) I flew one for a season didn't really have the experience though truth be told, found her hard work.....By then though i was totally addicted to the dogs so stopped flying the birds.
