There is a derelict mill in the valley that is being demolished to make way for a new school. As a consequence a lot of feral pigeons that have lost their home. This one obviously thought this hole looked suitable and suddenly discovered the existing resident and made a speedy exit.

Nice to see these Ant, I wonder what will become of this pair once the mill is demolished

Sorry might not have been clear the mill being demolished is a little further down the valley.

Fortunately this ex mill is well used by lots of small businesses so kestrel site is safe for time being.

Both are excellent shots Ant. The pigeon really adds to the 2nd shot. Agree with the others keep them coming.
