User's notes
A near neighbour alerted me to this pigeon that had turned up at her place. It seemed very tame so she put out food and water. At the time of the photos it had been visiting her yard for over a week. Seems like a lost domestic bird. I haven't spoken with her since to see it the bird is still around but efforts to find an owner have so far failed.
