Woodpigeon

There's been lots of stuff recently about how common Woodies have become over the last so many years as a breeding bird but they are everywhere at the minute, more than I have ever seen. Visible migration buffs will no doubt have recorded large movements of this bird over the autumn months. At the minute the lanes around Ulverscroft are packed with them. I assume they are feeding on the fallen fruit and seeds. Large flocks are also present all around Thornton. They're not every birders cup of tea but I quite like them......
