What is roosting here? Any ideas? (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

Given this is at the back of my flat in Moseley, Birmingham, UK, I am probably going to go for fat wood pigeon!

However, there is nothing above the site during the day, I have been at home this week due to the school holidays - yeah.
The ”pattern” changes over night - see pics below. We have heard tawny owls and buzzards and indeed seen a pair of buzzards in the same trees recently.

I suspect roosting wood pigeon in probably the more boring answer, but the poop of the pigeons around here at the moment tends to be purple due the the blackberries.

Am I hoping foolishly that we have some more interesting visitors?

Heard buzzards very early this morning and more “poop” evident - so l’m leaning towards buzzard. Hoping so 😀
