Sun worship

While trying to work my way through 1100 pages of reading that I have to do today I looked out of the window and spotted a pigeon lying on the grass in the sun. To be honest I thought it was injured or dead, but it turned out to be neither and seemed to be just enjoying the sunshine.

It spent an age just lying there before doing a bit of maintenance on its feathers. Eventually however a magpie arrived and chased it away.

Life in the raw here in the city.
