What a lovely picture to get of this bunting Rob. It's so sad we don't see more pictures of this one coming in.

You've captured a great pose too - very well done lad; many thanks for showing him to us.

Great pose, lighting and detail, Rob. My daughter called wood pigeons "fat birds" when she was a toddler. The name has stuck in this house!
