Never Seen Before

[Roland]

I live in an Avenue. So obviously there are trees down both sides of the road.

Now we have wood pigeons not nesting only in the tress - next doors back garden etc - but in the 'Eves' under the guttering on the front of the houses. Yes House Martin style. The upside down V has a ledge where there have built their nests and are sitting tight.

Yep Mark, that's what use to happen. Tethered to a branch then when old enough taken to a shed at bottom of garden or such for later 'Pigeon Pie'. We used to pluck and draw two to a pie. Now they just take of the breast and mix in with a sausage meat.
