I feed the birds in my garden and among the regulars at the feed board is a handful of ring pigeons. Every cat in the neighbourhood have spotted a possible easy lunch and even Charles Darwin would probably have found interest in watching the predatory stalking and ambushing only a few feet away.

So far I guess that the complacent household cats have come up empty. But one day a pigeon got a real scare and flew head on into our garden door. My wife witnessed the scene, and amazingly the pigeon got away. But leaving this extraordinary mark on the glass. Dust in the feathers drawing the left wing and the body.

Well, the pigeons still come back for more - bird seed that is.
