Give peace a chance - but don't release more white pigeons!

   
Add this one to my list of freaks seen in my garden, not as interesting as a white Tree Sparrow, the Tree Sparrow paired with a House Sparrow,  nor colourful like a Green-wing Budgie but it's difficult to not like or ignore.

It seems highly likely that this white Rock Dove was specifically bred to be released at funerals or other suitable events. Often said to return to it's loft, but just like some racing pigeons it got lost or preferred freedom. Never-the-less it's an unusual visitor to my garden just now, coming in with the pesky feral pigeons



Being this colour must make capture by a Peregrine so much easier, it will stick out in a flock like a sore thumb












Peace and love, peace and love.....
