Update on the visiting Racing Pigeon...............................................................

About 4 weeks ago I posted about the Racing/Homing pigeon that had been hanging around Mandys dads garden for a few days.

I thought it would have disappeared after resting up.

Well almost a month later and guess what?.... it's still here!

I had a few comments on the last post advising the fact that if it returned to it's owner it may well have had it's neck rung... and to feed it to encourage it to stay.

 Well that's exactly what we did and it has now taken shelter in the coal shed... free to come and go when it wants... it does have a fly around during the day. 

The word must have spread about the hospitality at Valley Cottage... this Muscovy Duck wandered into the garden from the river just over a week ago... and has also taken residence in the garden.

I hope to take more images over the weekend and will try to capture the "odd couple" together.

Enjoy your weekend.
