Sunbathing Cushat.

Sorry Sunbathing Wood Pigeon!   Growing up in Cumbria (well Cumberland as it was then) and having a mother who was an expert on the dialect we naturally spoke it a lot.  Cushat was the dialect name for Wood Pigeons.

We were out at the Lodge doing the final cleaning and getting ready for the next guests.  As they aren't due for a month we will probably need to go back at times.

While wandering round looking for a blip I spotted this Cushat sun bathing in next door's garden.  I managed this sneaky shot before it decided it wasn't keen on paparazzi and walked away to the other end of the garden before settling down again.
