Sighted white bird, Otley

[Outsider]

 

Saw lovely white pigeon/dove with flock of feral pigeons in Otley, West Yorkshire, today. Had yellow ring one leg. Looked slightly nervous and on periphery of flock. Don't know if someone will be able to guess its one of theirs?

its maybe a racer or stock bird gone missing and joined the ferals

you would need to catch and keep  the bird to read its id ring number

then call 01452 713529 the owner would send for it

Thanks. Wish I had tried to catch it now. I took my cue though from all the regular old blokes who sit in the market square all the time amongst the pigeons, and none of them seemed to look twice at the ringed bird, so I thought I might be silly to feel curious. However it seemed a shame to think of someone missing it, and the bird looked as though it would be happier back home.
