      Is that a seagull? Sorry, ornithology's not my strong point. I can do robins and magpies, after that I'm a bit shaky.

      I think you got the sun we didn't get today Zigs. Nice pictures. :) It's a pigeon Madahhlia, although unusual colouring. It could be a racing pigeon.

        No, it wasn't racing, there are some lovely daft pigeons in Lyme:)

          We all like daft pigeons Zigs. :) But keep an eye out, racing pigeons will have up to three rings on there legs (and no they're not Manx :heehee: ). If they have and you can get hold of the bird and report the ring number there could be a reward for it's return. Some pigeons are worth £100,000 plus!

          I know this because.......my brother breeds and races them.

                Cheers all,

                If you visit in the summer use one of the park & rides, parking is a nightmare in the town.

                This is Willow feeding the Mullet in the aquarium on the cob,

                    Great place Zigs, haven't been there for a while.:blue thumb:
                    I was once told regarding Pigeons that if a racer doesn't return on time then the owner doesn't want it back as it's not worth having, Not sure if that is true.

                    Ah, duh!! I can normally do pigeons, it was the colour that put me off. As it was Lyme I was expecting to see feral seagulls.
